Never got love from a government man
Headin downstream till the levee gives in
What can I do to get the money
We ain't got the money we ain't gettin out

Headin down the stream till the levee gives in
And my dreams are wearing 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 dream

All of my life I been wading in
Water so deep now we got to swim
Wonder will it ever end
How long how long till we have a friend

Comin down feelin like a battery hen
Waves won't break till 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 dream
