Too many lawyers in football, baseballs gotta few   The pitcher got a million dollars and the quarterback he got two   Pitcher threw his arm away and the quarterback burned his knee   And this they did so they could live the American dream      Now there are some preachers on T.V. with a suit and a tie and a vest   They want you to send your money to the Lord but they give you   Their address 'cause all of your donations are completely tax free   God bless you all but most of all send your money      Do you really want it? Do you really need it?   Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it   Ya got no time for yourself, ya got more ba Roe Jim beam   You're goin' crazy, dreamin' the American dream      Reagan is a cuttin' the budget makin' the democrats scream   Says, "We gotta control inflation, quit spendin' our money on everything"   But this years tax increase, why? It's the biggest in history   Round and a round we go where we stop, who knows the American dream      Do you really want it? Do you really need it?   Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it   We got no time for ourselves ya got more ba Roe Jim beam   You're goin' crazy, dreamin' the American dream   You're goin' crazy, dreamin' the American dream      Hail to the chief, hell, yeah
