~VERSE~
When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
The top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess
If your time ain't been nothing for money
I start to feel really bad for your honey
Maybe honey put your money where your mouth's been running
If your time ain't been nothing but money
~PRE-CHORUS~
I want out of this machine it doesn't feel like freedom
~CHORUS~
This ain't my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream
~INTERLUDE~
~VERSE 2~
When success is equated with excess
When you're fighting for the Beamer the Lexus
As the heart and soul breathe in the company goals
Where success is equated with excess
~REPEAT PRE-CHORUS~
~REPEAT CHORUS~
~BRIDGE~
'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling
Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we've been caught singing red white blue and green
But that ain't my America
That ain't my American dream
~REPEAT CHORUS~
~OUTRO~
Peace, Love, I'm out.
