[00:15.45]When success is equated with excess
[00:18.07]The ambition for excess wrecks us
[00:21.11]When top of the mind becomes the bottom line
[00:23.83]When success is equated with excess
[00:27.32]If you''''re time ain''''t be nothing for money
[00:29.82]I start to feel really bad for you honey
[00:32.89]Maybe honey put you''''re money
[00:34.20]where your mouth''''s been running
[00:35.80]If you''''re time ain''''t be nothing but money
[00:38.04]
[00:39.89]I want out of this machine
[00:42.68]It doesn''''t feel like freedom
[00:45.14]
(chorus)
[00:45.83]This ain''''t my American dream
[00:51.61]I want to live and die for bigger things
[00:57.64]I''''m tired of fighting for just me
[01:03.68]This ain''''t my American dream
[01:07.43]
[01:17.55]When success is equated with excess
[01:20.11]When we''''re fighting for the beamer, the lexus
[01:23.14]As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
[01:26.17]Where success is equated with excess
[01:28.55]
[01:30.22]I want out of this machine
[01:33.08]It doesn''''t feel like freedom
[01:35.55]
(chorus)
[01:36.11]This ain''''t my American dream
[01:42.05]I want to live and die for bigger things
[01:47.96]I''''m tired of fighting for just me
[01:54.02]This ain''''t my American dream
[01:57.62]
[01:59.11]Cause baby''''s always talkin ''''bout a ring
[02:01.93]And talk has always been the cheapest thing
[02:04.81]Is it true would you do what I want you to
[02:07.62]If I show up with the right amount of bling?
[02:10.06]
[02:11.06]Like a puppet on a monetary string
[02:17.25]Maybe we''''ve been caught singing
[02:19.84]Red, white, blue, and green
[02:25.06]But that ain''''t my America,
[02:27.97]That ain''''t my American dream
(chorus)
[02:31.29]This ain''''t my American dream
[02:36.93]I want to live and die for bigger things
[02:42.87]I''''m tired of fighting for just me
[02:48.81]This ain''''t my American dream
