Dreamer

I'm doing my best to communicate these ideas to you

Express my fears too in a way that

Quite honestly should take years to do

But here I am trying to get it across in five minutes

But still I go, 'cause I know that if I succeed

My single track could have more impact

Than a stack of books you'll never read

Or maybe you will, you'll take the red pill

Maybe this song will inspire you to go even deeper still

And when you do, and the truth is laid out before you

In all its glory don't be surprised when they ignore you

'Cause facts are not enough to distract this wolf pack

From cutbacks to services we already lack

So take back the power now is the hour if we allow another minute

They'll devour the world with us in it

There's no limit to their greed it's infinite

Unlike the planet so damn it you better panic

And you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Well you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Now I'm a child of the 1980s, Iron Lady, Nestlé babies

Terrified nuclear bombs would annihilate me

And I've been learning lately how the era that made me

Also marked the beginning of a shift in power that affects us daily

But now it's failing and the edifice is falling

And we don't have much time left to heed the warnings

So I keep recording, I keep repeating

Every worthwhile new idea I'm meeting

Trying to see a future past the weekend

We sow these suicidal seeds and yet our kids will do the reaping

Sold out a generation in the name of keeping it cheap and cheerful

Keep 'em fearful, hooked on credit so they don't regret it

Start forgetting what they're here for

You're here to service the machine

And as long as we keep spending they'll keep lending

Just to keep alive the dream

Until this whole murderous scheme just bursts at the seams

I hate to say it but it's worse than it seems

You say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Well you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

We need to learn from the past not yearn for the past

No matter if you're a believer in the market

Or a reader of Marx 'cause we're not sealing the cards

The hand's down and this is hands down

The most blinkered way of thinking

Since Bill Clinton took his pants down

A man's sound is way more mighty than his sword

So when you're fighting to be heard and

Getting tired of always being ignored

You need to join your voice together with the chorus

So when voices are united there's no way they can ignore us

And I'm sure as long as I can hold a tune

Well I'll be fighting on the front lines and shooting for the moon

And I'm certain that a change is coming soon

And what it is well that's up to you

So you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Well you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Well you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh

Well you say that I'm a dreamer, eh eh eh

I'm done waiting for a leader, eh eh eh
