Times are tight and getting tighter, The mood is right and getting righter
So much for sale but so few choices, So many people with unheard voices
I watch the TV I read the paper, I look for something to put my faith in
Where oh where oh where are all the sweet dreams now? x 3
There seems so much that won’t be learned, Once again the witches burn
Same old fears still fan the fires, The eyes look down from the cold dark spires
I used to think that words could matter, that they could cause the walls to shatter
Where oh where oh where are all the sweet dreams now? x 3
Solo
This is a song for the heart that’s aching, with aimless dreams and endless waiting
Desiring change but scared of changing, God’s not dead just rearranging
Inside me I see a dark hole yawning, I turn away to the smooth voice talking
Where oh where oh where are all the sweet dreams now?
I hear the screams for a world that sweeter, All we get is a plan that’s neater
Rules is rules, the line gets straighter, The poor get angry and the great get greater
I drink my beer I work my hours, I look with awe at the tall smooth towers
Where oh where oh where are all the sweet dreams now? x 3
