Sometimes i'll be dreaming as I lie awake
Clutching a handful of dreams that could tumble and break
They feel like they're slipping away
That's only so much wisdom that you can teach
When the world's out of reach
You pull me back to my feet
There's no way I'm accepting defeat
Don't listen to word that they say
Or your dreams will be tamed
There's enough time for the beast in you not to be caged
This passion I feel every day
I don't want it to be just a memory
You can work in this city, die in this city
You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing
You're more than they're selling you
And the path is your right to choose
You can work in this city, die in this city
You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing
You're more than they're selling you
And the path is your right to choose
Watch as we sleepwalk our way
Still facing the tide that comes crashing as though we were blind
This warning shot's send to remind
Don't listen to word that they say
But your dreams will be tamed
There's enough time for the beast in you not to be caged
This passion I feel every day
I don't want it to be just a memory
You can work in this city, die in this city
You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing
You're more than they're selling you
And the path is your right to choose
You can work in this city, die in this city
You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing
You're more than they're selling you
And the path is your right to choose
I'm so scared of winding up static in my stations
Helpless, unable to kill off my frustrations
I get the feeling we can't waste another chance we get
Another chance we get
You can work in this city, die in this city
Or make enough money to spend it on nothing
You're more than they're selling you
And the path is your right to choose
So in your own time make up your own mind
Live for yourself, you're doing just fine
Without what they believe is the right choice for you and me
Is the right choice for you and me
