Never got love from a government man
Heading downstream 'til the levee gives in
What can I do to get the money?
We ain't got the money, we ain't gettin' out
Heading downstream 'til the levee gives in
And my dreams are wearin' thin
All I need's relief
I need, I need some sympathy
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
All of my life been wadin' in
Water so deep now we got to swim
Wonder will it ever end
How long, how long 'til we have a friend?
Comin' down, feelin' 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?
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
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
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
Baby, you know me
