(LYRICS )
THESE DAYS WE DON'T PRAY MUCH ANYMORE
EVEN GOD DON'T LOVE YOU WHEN YOU GET THIS POOR
WE GOT BARS ON THE WINDOWS AND GUNS BEHIND THE DOOR ,,
WE WERE LIVING LARGE ON CREDIT CARDS WE CAN'T PAY FOR
AND A LIFESTYLE BEYOND OUR MEANS
NOW WE'RE LAYING AROUND THE SHACK
DREAMING ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM

THE FBI HEARD EVERY WORD
OF MY PRIVATE TELEPHONE CONVERSATION
THE ONLY JOB AN HONEST MAN CAN FIND THESE DAYS
IS SELLING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
OLD REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME LIARS
DIVIDE US AND CONQUER IS THE SCHEME
I'M GONNA LAY AROUND THE SHACK
DREAMING ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM

DRUGS AND MONEY ,CRIME AND BLING BLING
AND THE RISING PRICE OF GAS
AND DADDYS LITTLE ACHEY BREAKY BABY GIRL
ON THE MTV SHAKIN THAT ASS
WE GOT SOME BEAUTIFUL PRISONS FROM COAST TO COAST
AND HANK WILLIAMS AND OLD JIM BEAM
I'M GONNA LAY AROUND THE SHACK
AND DREAM ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM

WE'RE ALL LINED UP TO BUY THAT NEW I-PHONE
MADE BY SLAVES IN CHINA
GRANDMA IS DRUNK , SHE'S DRIVING HOME FROM BINGO
AND THE POLICE ARE RIGHT BEHIND HER
THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR OF PEACE IN KOREA
IS A BROTHER FROM A BASKETBALL TEAM
I'M GONNA LAY AROUND THE SHACK
AND DREAM ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM................
