Let It Be A Dream

[Verse 1]
Circling the want ads
From last weeks Sunday times
On the two mile walk to downtown
To stand in the food bank line
Hungover from the ballgame
Last night with some old friends
Spent my last ten dollars on a pack of smokes
To last me the weekend

[Chorus]
Let it be a dream
Let it be a dream
I’ve been waiting all my life
For someone to come set me free

[Verse 2]
I grew up with shit for money
Mother spread herself too thin
Father did his best to raise us kids
And I owe it all to them
But in life nothing comes easy
They say talent outweighs luck
You get ahead by knowing who you know
No one really gives a fuck

[Chorus]
Let it be a dream
Let it be a dream
I’ve been waiting all my life
For someone to come set me free

[Verse 3]
The phone wakes me every morning
But I let it sit and ring
Most my calls are debt collectors
From blocked numbers anyway
Nothing lately makes me happy
All I do is watch tv
All it does is make me angry
But it keeps me company

[Chorus]
Let it be a dream
Let it be a dream
I’ve been waiting all my life
For someone to come set me free
I’ve been waiting all my life
For someone to come set me free
