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
