You're working day and night just steady struggling
You think that you can make it by yourself
You feel like giving up, you feel like giving in
But you're determined to get out of this hellYou're not the only one who's ever had it hard
Somebody somewhere's feeling all your pain
Think of the lucky ones, the ones who started small
They didn't win till they decided to playEverybody wants to make it
No one ever wants to try
If you think that you can take it
Let me hear your battle cryI want it, I need it
So give it to me
I want a piece of the American dream
I want it, I need it
So give it to me
Little piece of the American dreamYou have to sacrifice, you gotta take a chance
'Cause that's the only way you'll ever win
Go on and roll the dice, forget the circumstance
You're either selling out or chasing inEverybody wants to make it
No one ever wants to try
If you think that you can take it
Let me hear your battle cryI want it, I need it
So give it to me
I want a piece of the American dream
I want it, I need it
So give it to me
Little piece of the American dreamHold on to your own ambition
Keep it till the day you die
All you need is inspiration
Never kiss a day goodbyeI want it, I need it
So give it to me
I want a piece of the American dream
I want it, I need it
So give it to me
Little piece of the American dreamI want it, I need it
So give it to me
I said, "I want it I need it"
So give it to me
I said,"I want it, I need it"
So give it to me
I want a piece of the American dream
