C F C
Too many lawyers in football, baseball's got a few
C D G
The pitcher, he got a million dollars and the quarterback, he got two
C F C
The pitcher threw his arm away and the quarterback burned his knee
C G C
And this they did so they could live the American dream
C F C
Now there are some preachers on TV with a suit and a tie and a vest
C D G
They want you to send your money to the Lord but they give you their address
C F C
Cause all of your donations are completely tax free
C G C
God bless you all but most of all send your money
Chours
F C
Do you really want it, do you really need it
G F C
You gotta keep on grindin' just to try to keep it
F C F
You got no time for yourself, you got more for old Jim Beam
C G C
You're goin' crazy dreamin' the American Dream
C F C
Reagan is a-cuttin' the budget, making the Democrats scream
C D G
Says we gotta control inflation, quit spendin' our money on everything
C F C
But this years tax increase, why it's the biggest in history
C G C
'Round and around we go, where we stop, who knows, the American dream
Chorus
