lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreamed enduring happiness more money guaranteed
Widely believed this one thing certain
Understood my worth by car I drive from A to B
How impressed my peers said they were

[Verse 2]
Measured life successful by the objects I possessed
Accumulation satisfied me
Had to stay ahead, keep up, no matter what it takes
But leave it all behind when I die

[Bridge]
And like a bird of gilded cage
To feed forgot unchallenged
Went hungry

[Verse 3]
Dreamed a quest for fame and fortune validates my life
Realises star potential
Of people, fact well known, celebrities are happiest
Well, maybe just a few are less so

[Repeat Bridge]

[Chorus]
Now crazy seems that life was real believed
Now obvious was just a strange dream dreamed

[Verse 4]
Dreamed when win the lotto lottery will happy be
I run my magic numbers lucky
I weekly watch results on TV, tight my fingers crossed
Get struck my lightening - know have more chance

[Repeat Bridge]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
Dreamed was trapped inside my body, destined to grow old
Where only get one life then you die
Calculated self-interest as senses gratified
My outer dress identified I

[Spoken]
Is it time to wake up?
