we don't read books
we watch tv
books will make you stupid and it's easy to see
we're so much more than you and your kind
and you will never know what we're thinking

we are dreamers in a dream
or at least that's how it seems
so scared of waking up
cause we have no future
we have no future at all

you chew it up then spit it out
you leave it on the sidewalk
put a new one in your mouth
then you sit around and waste your time
and hope for something exciting to happen

we are dreamers in a dream
or at least that's how it seems
so scared of waking up
cause you have no future
i have no future
we have no future at all

i have a friend who's always late
should have been here six o'clock
now it's quarter to eight
he's a dreamer since birth and so am i
waiting for something exciting to happen

we are dreamers in a dream...
