lyrics

Under American rules you gotta drive to be cool
You gotta keep up with Jones or they will brand you a fool

I need a job to buy a car to drive to work
Getting credit making payments by the first

So I got me a job at the weapons lab
I simulate explosions and the pay isn't half-bad
They say there is no ceiling to how high I can climb
So I'm gonna climb

It's an American dream
They say there is no ceiling so I'm gonna climb

Now it's a tudor on the green an expectorant wife
That I'll refi for a Hummer and a shot at the good life
We'll be living on the cover of a lifestyle magazine
All neat and clean

An American dream
To be living on the cover of a magazine

A highway paved with dollars stretched as far as I can see
My recurring dream

An American dream
A highway paved with dollars far as I can see
