I Dreamed a Dream
In America we have all we need
if we can find or take it.
Our work ethic is strong
yet weakening at every knee.
Oppose the status quo
break a window
no one is going to arrest
we know what's best
to keep the dream going.
Last night
I really did dream of our future...
Imagine a bowl of cherries
bleeding dark red blood
all over your Lexus or your wheelchair.
Imagine if there was no hell
just another replay of social decay
everyday
and you are the one
pushing bodies into darkness,
it is you smashing a brick over
all those hurrying heads.
