American Dream Lyrics

I've got drugs

I've got guns

I've got money – hurray

Now can I be a part of your American play

Where we've got freedom of speech

But nothing to say

I'm so glad before my mother left, she taught me charades

It's all for you it's all for you

This is the American dream

Chasing dollars on a string

Well it ain't for me

I've got drugs

I've got guns

I've got money – hurray

Now can I be an actor on your unforgiving stage

And I can play my role

I can read my lines

I can fake it, I can make it for a season in time

And is this what you want from me

Dead inside with a pocket full of green

And this is the American dream

Chasing dollars on a string

Well it ain't for me

This is for everyone who felt so low they couldn't get back up

This is for all my homeboys that are locked up

This is for everybody who has ever fucked up

Yeh, listen and shut up

They take away your pride and bring you down

Sometimes you might feel lost and not be found

But you can always come back up and come around

Don't ever let nobody get you down

And this is the American dream

Chasing dollars on a string

This is the American dream

And it ain't for me

No it ain't for me
