lyrics

I had this dream
That history was different
Where business was not worth it
And money is not what drives us
It’s just our hearts
Is this the medicine we swallow?
Each and every day
Prescription history
A day to day dose of being told
What’s expected of you

To belittle the little ones
How can we always stay ahead?
Let’s just set up a system
A hamster wheel to spin them in

They told me it’s always been this way before
These laws are set in place
Interpret
Not erased
Question sexual preferences and common goals
Drowning in your fucking paper work

I had this dream where I wake up in a beautiful field
Being torn down and stripped of its dream
I’m just an old tree and I’m in the way

I had this dream
Where I’m a business man
A briefcase is anchored to my hand
I go to bed with paper work
And wake up to fucking paper work

It’s all just business right
We’re all just business
When we are born
When we die
When we learn
When we lie
It’s all for dollars and cents
We’re all just business, right?

I had this dream
Where I wake up to my beautiful wife
She is unhappy and ripped from her dreams
I’m just an old man and I’m in the way

In this world I have a family
Our youngest is 13
She looks up to me and I don’t know why
So I am hiding behind a suit and a tie
My wife and I are drifting apart
She says “I never see you anymore
I miss you, and our children miss you.
Why must you work so hard?”
Cause I’m unhappy and afraid
It’s all just business, right?
