Never got love from a government man

Heading 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.

Heading downstream till 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 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 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...

Baby, you know me.
