When success is equated with excess

The ambition for excess wrecks us

As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line

When success is equated with excess If your time ain't be nothing but money

I start to feel really bad for you, honey

Maybe honey, put youre money

Where your mouths been running

If your time ain't be nothing but money I want out of this machine

It doesnt feel like freedom This aint my American dream

I wanna live and die for bigger things

Im tired of fighting for just me

This ain't my American dream When success is equated with excess

When youre fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus

As the heart and soul breathing the company goals

Where success is equated with excess I want out of this machine

It doesnt feel like freedom This aint my American dream

I wanna live and die for bigger things

Im tired of fighting for just me

This ain't my American dream 'Cause babys always talking 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 weve been caught singing

Red, white, blue and green

But that aint my America

That aint my American dream This aint my American dream

I wanna live and die for bigger things

Im tired of fighting for just me

This ain't my American dream
