lyrics

I HAD THIS DREAM by K. Dennis

Rolling down the highway to the old salt mine
Two hours driving plus the nine-to-five
Head down, mouth shut - flourescent cubicle day

Insurance benefits I can't afford to lose
So commute, punch the clock, focus those blues
Head down, mouth shut - make it through today
Every other Friday, collect the pay
I had this dream...

Ten years on the job and there's nowhere to go
There's guys out there who'll work for less dough
Head down, mouth shut - don't ever make a scene

Can't relax, we can all be replaced
Keep turning out the work and don't stare into space
Head down, mouth shut - folks depending on me
Every other Friday, I feel a little free
I had this dream...

Heard this suit on tv say it's all up to me
Work hard, bootstraps, crap mythology
Without a helping hand you get stuck
Or shoved out the door

I had this dream...
