Everybody knows there's a dream that makes us all feel good
Well I haven't had it for some time
I believe that it was something about love
But I cannot see the details anymore

Tell us 'bout your dream and the million things that you go and see
That I gotta say you've done allright
By the measures of society today
And I guess that's what you wanted anyway
Everybody's got it all, the food is on the table, daddy's coming home
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better off dead allright

Never wanted to relax like you, I don't care about the dreams you dream
I don't need to make excuses all the time
All I wanted was some piece of the action
Everybody's got it all, the food is on the table, daddy's coming home
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better dead than alive
Everybody's got it all, the facts are on the table, daddy's had it done
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better off dead allright
