You'll achieve it if you tug those bootstraps hard enough
You'll receive it if you stretch that credit card enough
You'll believe it, with your cross and guns, on guard enough
You'll perceive it if you wish on stripes and stars enough
It's the American lie they keep on telling you
While you eat shit and die, the Paper Eagles keep on selling you
Rags to rags
There are no riches with no starter wealth
Weighted dice
You cannot win without ol' Daddy's help
Thank the Ronnies and the Donnies for four-flushing it
As the dream becomes a nightmare drenched in blood and shit
You can have it if you smartly scrimp and save enough
Wishes will come true if you bow, beg, and cave enough
You are free as long as you submit and slave enough
Anything's a dildo if your will is brave enough
It's the American lie they keep on telling you
While you eat shit and die, the Paper Eagles keep on selling you
Rags to rags
There are no riches with no starter wealth
Weighted dice
You cannot win without ol' Daddy's help
Thank the Ronnies and the Donnies for four-flushing it
As the dream becomes a nightmare drenched in blood and shit
All so you can dream
All so you can dream the American Nightmare
All so you can dream
All so you can dream the American Nightmare
Rags to rags
There are no riches with no starter wealth
Weighted dice
You cannot win without ol' Daddy's help
Thank the Ronnies and the Donnies for four-flushing it
As the dream becomes a nightmare drenched in blood and shit
All so you can dream
All so you can dream
