"lie lie lies everywhere"
said the father to the son
your peppermint breath
gonna choke him to death Daddy
watch your little black sheep run
he's got knive knive knives in his back
everytime he opens up
you say "he gotta be strong if
he wanna be a man" mister
I don't know how you can have
Sweet Dreams

land land of liberty we're run
by a constipated man
when you live in the past you refuse
to see when your daughter come home
9 months pregnant with 5 billion points
of light you're gonna shine them on the face
of your friends - they've got the earth in a sling
they've got the world on her knees they've even got
your zipper between their teeth
Sweet Dreams

you say you say you say that you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Sweet Dreams

go on go on go on go on and dream
your house is on fire
come along now

well well summer wind
been catching up with me
"Elephant mind missy
you don't have you're forgettin
to fly darlin when you sleep"
I got hazy lazy Susan
takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes
runnin through my body
funny how they all have my face
Sweet Dreams

you say you say you say that you have 'em
I say that you're a liar
Sweet Dreams

go on go on go on go on and dream
your house is on fire
come along now
Sweet Dreams
