Lyrics
Never got love from a government man
Heading downstream 'til 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 'til the levee gives in
And my dreams are wearing thin
All I need's relief
I need, I need some sympathy, yeah
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 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? (Ah-ah-ah, hey)
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 (look at me)
(I just can't believe what they've done to me) I know you, you know me
(We could never get free) baby
(I just wanna be) I know you
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
I just wanna dream
Baby, you know me
