[Verse 1]

You might know of the original sin

And you might know how to play with fire

But did you know of the murder committed

In the name of love? (Yeah)

You thought what a pity

[Chorus]

Dream on, white boy

Dream on, black girl

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

[Verse 2]

There was a time when I did not care

And there was a time when the facts did stare

There is a dream, and it's held by many

Well, I'm sure you had to see

It’s open arms

[Chorus]

Dream on, white boy

Dream on, black girl

And wake up to a brand new day

Dream on, black boy

Dream on, white girl

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

Dream on, black boy

Dream on, white girl

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

[Instrumental Break]

(Dream on) Play with fire

White boy, black girl

(Dream on) In the name of love

Black boy, white girl

(Dream on) White boy, black girl

Black boy, white girl

(Dream on) The name of love, yeah

You thought what a pity

[Outro]

Yeah

Original sin

Mmm, hey, hey

Red, it’s over, it’s over
