AMERICAN DREAMs      
I was working at the Five and Dime saving up my money so that me and my honey could be    
Sitting pretty at a later time, have a little space maybe see another place
Then I caught him on the late night TV with his wife
Wearing all the jewels and he taught me all the rules that would change my life
 
It’s a simple game everyone should know
Lay your money down and watch it grow
You can buy a yacht if you play along
You can have it all nothing could go wrong
Nothing could go wrong
 
So I bought a little real estate just a crummy shack but I made some money back so I
Doubled down ‘cause I was feeling great, bought a little more maybe 2 or 3 or 4
I made a little money when I sold one to a friend
He made a little money when I turned around and bought it back again
 
 It’s a simple game everyone should know...

Then like the teacher I wore jewels, looking down on all those other fools 
Who weren’t doing quite so well, who weren’t in when the bottom fell
 
Now I’m back here at the Five and Dime working with my honey ‘cause we really need the money and I
Think we’ll be here for a long, long time paying every cent of the money that we spent
But I need to be rich so I’m working on another scheme
Going on the circuit with a book for every jerk that has
American dreams 

It's a simple game everyone should know...
