A (palm-mute verses if desired)
When success is equated with excess

When success is equated with excess

If your time ain't been nothing for 
money

I start to feel really bad for you, 
honey

If your time ain't been nothing but 
money

Pre-Chorus:
D      E             F#m
I want out of this machine
           E5
It doesn't feel like freedom

Chorus:
A                           D
This ain't my American dream
A                           D
I want to live and die for bigger 
things
E                             D
I'm tired of fighting for just me
E
This ain't my American dream

Intro/Fill x1

Verse 3:
A
When success is equated with excess

When we're fighting for the Beamer, 
the Lexus

Where success is equated with excess

Prechorus

Chorus

Bridge:
E5                   D5          
'Cause baby's always talkin' 
    A
'bout a ring
E5                  D5    
And talk has always been the 
            A
cheapest thing
      E5             D5        A
Is it true would you do what I want 
you to
     E5               D5          
If I show up with the right amount
    A
 of bling?
       E5          D5       A
Like a puppet on a monetary string
E5                      D5
Maybe we've been caught singing
E                     E5
Red, white, blue, and gree-ee-een
E5 (strum three times fast and let 
ring)
But that ain't my America,
E5 (let ring lightly)  A
That ain't my American dream
