Are we just feelin' our age? Baby, is this when we should be thinking 'bout a mortgage? Did you always want a garage? Should we be considering the spacing of the children? What if they want to go to college? Maybe if we're lucky one of them will be a doctor Me, I always knew the arts were hopeless from the get go But baby we've been working so hard I would never throw the towel in What a mess though I've been wanting it - dreamer I thought I needed it - dreamer Boy I'm fighting for it - dreamer What a dream - what a goddamn dream Tried to make a go in the big smoke baby Working in a kitchen for eleven bucks an hour Hanging on a tip at the night club honey Top 40 hits and bottle service money You've got what it takes - you just need some more exposure We've got what you need - can you keep your composure? 'Cause you've been wanting it - dreamer You thought you needed it - dreamer Boy you're fighting for it - dreamer What a dream - what a goddamn dream! Is it true what the uncles say Dreams are for the young? Everybody's getting stiff tryna get rich You wouldn't like me like that - you wouldn't like it I wouldn't want you like that - I wouldn't want it 'Cause, we've been wanting it - dreamer We thought we needed it - dreamer Boy we're fighting for it - dreamer You've been wanting it - dreamer You thought you needed it - dreamer Boy you're fighting for it - dreamer I've been wanting it - dreamer I thought I needed it - dreamer Boy I'm fighting for it What a dream - what a goddamn dream
