I Screamed When I Woke Up
While asleep in dark room
I laughed and celebrated life
I saw me drive big vehicles
splashing water on people
crashed the machine on some
I screamed when I woke up
I saw reality of the dream life
people in their agonies weeping
children I orphaned helpless
but those I made dirty rewarded
And the scream will not ebb
on my vehicle all filth is loaded
the burden I had to bear forever
because in my dream I faulted
a play boy, I lived offensive life
I screamed loudly when I woke up
the burden I have to bear forever
