Lyrics
American Dream (z. walters)
verse 1
how do you define the American dream
burritos and tacos or just plain beans
the bottom line is you can?t touch that
a beeper, and a cell phone, and a belt loop
answer machine
for many other people there?s a checklist
I got my blond girlfriend nice car and that
and this
but I?m quite chill with a good back scratcher
kicking back with food folks fun and laughter
chorus
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
how do you define the American dream
verse 2
well you can?t, who wrote the book of love
people be telling me it?s from up above
I don?t buy it, done tried it
Michael Jackson tells me it?s all about two
hands and one glove
Then you got your house with the picket fence
Or on the reservation with a teepee tent
Or the big house on the hill with your surround
sound tv
Watch out for me, cause
chorus
verse 3
I?m the symbol of status, I drive a dodge stratus
I got my bose tweeters pumpin out tunes by gladys
Flannel wearin hicks I fear, they pick up their kids
from school on their john deere
anyways back to the business man recruit
I got my Armani tie and my fancy ass suit
All of these things make me feel so peachie
Remember the days of z. cavarichi
