============THE SONG=============
Intro (2x)
Verse 1:
A (palm-mute verses if desired)
When success is equated with excess
A
The ambition for excess wrecks us
A
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
A
When success is equated with excess
Verse 2:
A
If your time ain't been nothing for money
A
I start to feel really bad for you, honey

Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth's been running
A
If your time ain't been nothing but money
Pre-Chorus:
I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom
Chorus:
This ain't my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
E
This ain't my American dream
Intro/Fill (2x)
Verse 3:
A
When success is equated with excess
A
When we're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
A
As the heart and soul breath in the company goals
A
Where success is equated with excess
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge:
'Cause baby's always talkin' '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 we've been caught singing
Red, white, blue, and gree-ee-een
(strum three times fast and let ring)
But that ain't my America,
(let ring lightly)
That ain't my American dream
