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  [bad word]  down, feelin' like a battery hen 
Waves won't break till the [bad word] 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
