[Intro]

Yeah

[Verse 1]

Never got love from a government man

Heading downstream till the levee give in

What can I do to get the money?

We ain't got the money, we ain't getting out

Heading downstream till the levee gives in

And my dreams are wearing thin

All I need's relief

I need, I need some sympathy, yeah

[Chorus]

Look at me

I just can't believe what they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be (I just wanna be)

Look at me

I just can't believe what they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be

I just wanna dream (Dream, dream, dream)

[Verse 2]

All of my life been wading in

Water so deep, now we got to swim

Wonder will it ever end

How long, how long 'til we have a friend?

Coming down, feeling like a battery hen

Waves won't break 'til the tide comes in

What will I do in the sunrise?

What will I do without my dreams? (Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh, hey)

[Chorus]

Look at me

I just can't believe what they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be (I just wanna be)

Look at me

I just can't believe what they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be

I just wanna dream (Dream, dream, dream)

[Bridge]

We're all together in the same boat

I know you, you know me

Baby, you know me

We're all together in the same boat

I know you, you know me

Baby, you know me

We're all together in the same boat

(Look at me

I just can't believe what they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be)

I know you, you know me

Baby

[Outro]

I just wanna dream

I just wanna dream

I just wanna dream

Baby, you know me
