[00:14.95]When success is equated with excess
[00:17.57]The ambition for excess wrecks us
[00:20.61]When top of the mind becomes the bottom line
[00:23.33]When success is equated with excess
[00:26.82]If you re time ain t be nothing for money
[00:29.32]I start to feel really bad for you honey
[00:32.39]Maybe honey put you re money
[00:33.70]where your mouth s been running
[00:35.30]If you re time ain t be nothing but money
[00:39.39]I want out of this machine
[00:42.18]It doesn t feel like freedom
[00:45.33]This ain t my American dream
[00:51.11]I want to live and die for bigger things
[00:57.14]I m tired of fighting for just me
[01:03.18]This ain t my American dream
[01:17.05]When success is equated with excess
[01:19.61]When we re fighting for the beamer, the lexus
[01:22.64]As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
[01:25.67]Where success is equated with excess
[01:29.72]I want out of this machine
[01:32.58]It doesn t feel like freedom
[01:35.61]This ain t my American dream

[01:58.61]Cause baby s always talkin bout a ring
[02:01.43]And talk has always been the cheapest thing
[02:04.31]Is it true would you do what I want you to
[02:07.12]If I show up with the right amount of bling?
[02:10.56]Like a puppet on a monetary string
[02:16.75]Maybe we ve been caught singing
[02:19.34]Red, white, blue, and green
[02:24.56]But that ain t my America,
[02:27.47]That ain t my American dream
[02:30.79]This ain t my American dream
[02:36.43]I want to live and die for bigger things
