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
