Chasing an Empty Dream

Sometimes I wonder If it's all been in vain It seems nothing matters Everybody chasing fame With no message For the young to hold on to You take what you can God help the man who will try to stop you Is it real? What they feel What's the deal? When you're chasing an empty dream The young generation Trying hard to be understood Respect your bodies Try to do what your mama would 'Cause everyone Is looking to make a buck With no ambition Wanting money to come by luck Is it real? What they feel What's the deal? When you're chasing an empty dream Maybe tomorrow The words of yesterday And the message they carry May help them find their way, oh Maybe tomorrow Looking back on yesterday And the message they carry Will help them find a way Sometimes I think about The sacrifices that were made Are long forgotten In the material world of today Is it real? What they feel What's the deal? What they feel Is it real? What they feel What's the deal? When you're chasing an empty dream Do you feel What they feel What's the deal? Chasing an empty dream
