(1)

We got blowjob Billy on Capitol Hill
Mama Monica passin' out thrills
Distillery Hillary pounding down pills
The bomb builders begging for alms
And a whole country full of movie stars

(CHORUS)
And we're all living that American Dream
Yes, we've all been given that American Dream.


(2)

We got Monday night football to make us manic
Deck seats on the Titanic
Prozac, Jack, so I don't panic
The stock market to make us all rich
Saddam Hussein is our current son-of-a-bitch

And we're all living that American Dream
Yes, we've all been given that American Dream.


(3)

We got dirty Harry so we're not fairies
We got Jesus Christ to make us nice
Super-highways that run to the sun
And tons of second-amendment guns
We got Jim and Tammy to save our souls
We got sex and drugs and rock and roll

And we're all living that American Dream
Yes, we've all been given that American Dream.


(4)

We got nuclear power to light the night
We got tv ads to make us white
We got SUVs and cadillacs
We're all laying money back in stacks
We got anorexic models in Japanese cars
We see stars and scars and prison bars

And we're all living that American Dream
Yes, we've all been given that American Dream.
Yes, we're living
    that American Dream!
