The American Dream(Cavaco chords)

	        C                             F                C 
Too many lawyers in football, baseball's got a few 
    C                                         D                   G 
The pitcher, he got a million dollars and the quarterback, he got two 
    C                                  F                      C 
The pitcher threw his arm away and the quarterback burned his knee 
    C                                     G       C 
And this they did so they could live the American dream 
  
Now there are some preachers on TV 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 
 
              F                      C 
Do you really want it, do you really need it 
                  G       F               C 
You gotta keep on grindin' just to try to keep it 
                F                                      C     F 
You got no time for yourself, you got more for old Jim Beam 
                   C       G             C           
You're goin' crazy dreamin' the American Dream 

 
 
Reagan is a-cuttin' the budget, making 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 around we go, where we stop, who knows, the American dream 
 
Chorus
