Don't believe what you hear. Don't believe what you see. If you just close your eyes. You can feel the enemy. When I first met you girl. You had fire in your soul. What happened your face. Of melting in snow. Now it looks like this. And you can swallow. Or you can spit. You can throw it up. Or choke on it. And you can dream. So dream out loud. You know that your time is coming 'round. So don't let the bastards grind you down. No nothing makes sense. Nothing seems to fit. I know you'd hit out. If you only knew who to hit. And I'd join the movement. If there was one I could believe in. Yeah I'd break bread and wine. If there was a church I could receive in. 'cause I need it now. To take a cup. To fill it up. To drink it slow. I can't let you go. I must be an acrobat. To talk like this. And act like that. And you can dream. So dream out loud. And don't let the bastards grind you down. Oh it hurts baby. (What are we going to do now it's all been said). (No new ideas in the house and every book has been read). And I must be an acrobat. To talk like this. And act like that. And you can dream. So dream out loud. And you can find. Your own way out. You can build. And I can will. And you can call. I can't wait until. You can stash. And you can seize. In dreams begin. Responsibilities. And I can love. And I can love. And I know that the tide is turning 'round. So don't let the bastards grind you down
