I had to wait in line for gas today They said a hurricane had blew the oilrig away But they were gouging prices I think I gave an arm and a leg to fill up my tank And now the equities gone in my real estate We have spent so much we broke the banks And now we owe so much they've changed our name To the I. O. U. S. of A But I can't let it bother me Can't do nothing about it anyway Keeping up with the Jones' Is killing me There ain't no need chasing something that I never will achieve I'm saying goodbye to the American Dream Yeah we go to college but what for Just to get a degree with no job support And from the east coast to the golden shore There's a rising sea of low credit scores And if we don't get Wall Street reformed There will be no new entrepreneurs Cause we'll be working for the man, just to keep insured You better hold on tight to your penny jars But I can't let it bother me Can't do nothing about it anyway Keeping up with the Jones' Is killing me There ain't no need chasing something that I never will achieve I'm saying goodbye to the American Dream There's a for sale sign on a picket fence June and Ward Cleaver have been forced to rent And they've left their children with no help at all You can't leave it to Beaver when the dream is gone Here we go now, I can't let it bother me Can't do nothing about it anyway Keeping up with the Jones' Is killing me There ain't no need chasing something that I never will achieve I'm saying goodbye to the American Dream --- Charlton James - Writer/Performer John LeMay IV & Bryan Hall - Writers Tyler Martin - Producer/Cinematographer Clay Thomas - Cinematographer John Gifford III - FAME Audio Engineer Trey Alexander - Videographer Jason Flynn - Producer/Director/Cinematographer/Videographer/Editor
