 E                                  
 When success is equated with excess
 E                                
 The ambition for excess wrecks us
 E                                         
 As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
 E                                  
 When success is equated with excess
 
 E                                        
 If your time ain't been nothing for money
 E                                        
 I start to feel really bad for you, honey
 E                                                          
 Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
 E                                        
 If your time ain't been nothing but money
 
 A      B             C#m  
 I want out of this machine
            B                
 It doesn't feel like freedom
 
 E                      A    
 This ain't my American dream
 E                          A            
 I want to live and die for bigger things
 F#m                            B 
 I'm tired of fighting for just me
 B                      D    
 This ain't my American dream

 E                                  
 When success is equated with excess
 E                                            
 When we're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
 E                                                
 As the heart and soul breath in the company goals
 E                                   
 Where success is equated with excess
 
 A      B             C#m  
 I want out of this machine
            B                
 It doesn't feel like freedom
 
 E                      A    
 This ain't my American dream
 E                          A            
 I want to live and die for bigger things
 F#m                            B 
 I'm tired of fighting for just me

 This ain't my American dream
 
 D                    A               E   
 'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring
 D                   A                 E    
 And talk has always been the cheapest thing
       A              E         B          
 Is it true would you do what I want you to
 D                     A               E     
 If I show up with the right amount of bling?
 D     A             B                    E     
 Yeah, you're just a puppet on a monetary string
 A                       B      
 Maybe we've been caught singing
 A                     B    
 Red, white, blue, and green
 B                         
 But that ain't my America,
 B                           
 That ain't my American dream
 
 E                      A    
 This ain't my American dream
 E                          A            
 I want to live and die for bigger things
 F#m                            B 
 I'm tired of fighting for just me
 B                      D    
 This ain't my American dream
