Sweet Dreams

[Verse 1]

"Lie, lie, lies everywhere," said the father to the son

Your peppermint breath going to choke him to death

Daddy watch your little black sheep run

He got kni-kni-knives in his back every time he opens up

You say, "He got to be strong if you want to be a man"

Mister, I don't know how you can have

[Chorus]

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

[Verse 2]

Land, land of liberty, we're run by a constipated man

When you live in the past you refuse to see

When your daughter comes home nine months pregnant

With five billion points of light, you're gonna shine them on the face of your friends

They got the earth in a sling, they got the world on her knees

They've even got your zipper between their teeth

[Chorus]

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have them

I say that you're a liar

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

[Post-Chorus]

Go on, go on, go on and dream

Your house is on fire

Come along now

[Verse 3]

Well, well, summer wind been catching up with me

"Elephant mind, missy, you don't have

You're forgetting to fly, darling when you sleep"

I got hazy lazy Susan taking turns all over my dreams

I got lizards and snakes running through my body

Funny how they all have my face

[Chorus]

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have them

I say that you're a liar

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

[Post-Chorus]

Go on, go on, go on and dream

Your house is on fire

Come along now

[Chorus]

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams

Sweet dreams
