Translation
Bilingual
Too many lawyers in football, baseball's got a few
The pitcher got a million dollars, and the quarterback, he got two
The pitcher threw his arm away and the quarterback ruined his knee
And this they did so they could live the American dream
Now there are some preachers on TV with a suit and a tie and a vest
They want you to send your money to the Lord
But they give you their address
'Cause all of your donations are completely tax-free
God bless you all, but most of all, send your money
Do you really want it? Do you really need it?
You got to keep on grindin' just to try to keep it
You got no time for yourself, you got more for old Jim Beam
You're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream
Reagan is a-cuttin' the budget, makin' the Democrats scream
Says we got to control inflation
Quit spendin' our money on everything
But this year's tax increase, why?, It's the biggest in history
'Round and around we go, where we stop, who knows? The American dream
Do we really want it? Do you really need it?
We got to keep on grindin' just to try to keep it
We got no time for ourselves and more for old Jim Beam
We're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream
We're goin' crazy dreamin' the American dream
Hail to the chief
Hell, yes
