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 hell
you'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 play
everybody wants to make it
no one wants to try now if you think that you can take it
let me hear your battle cry
i 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 dream
you have to sacrifice
you gotta to 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 in
everybody wants to make it
no one ever wants to try now if you think that you can take it
let me hear your battle cry
i 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 a little piece of the american dream
hold on to your own ambition
keep it till the day you die
all you need is inspiration
never kiss a day goodbye
i 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 dream
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 said i want it i need it
so give it to me i want a piece of the american dream
