Simple Dreams

 

Bright lights,Big city streets

These urban charms escape me.

Your worth is only skin deep.

Money is the apple of your eye oh so it seems.

The fast life it, fuels your needs.

Nothing makes you so high like power and greed.

 

Whatever happened to the simple dreams?

A white picket fence

A wife that loves you

Instead you’ve replaced these.

 

I am a Yes man, I have no thought other than

To please your wants and needs

And in the process I forget about me.

The fast life it, fuels your needs.

Nothing makes you so high like power and greed.

 

Whatever happened to the simple dreams?

A white picket fence

A wife that loves you

Instead you’ve replaced these.

 

It’s only materialistic, That fancy job of yours on the 31st floor.

It only proclaims your distance.

Who did you step upon?

Have you made a difference?

Does that suit keep you very warm?

Does it serve a purpose?

 

Bright lights, Big city streets

These urban charms escape me.

Your worth is only skin deep.

Nothing makes you so high like power and greed.

The fast life it, fuels your needs.

Nothing makes you so high like power and greed.

 

Whatever happened to the simple dreams?

A white picket fence

A wife that loves you

Instead you’ve replaced these.

 

Whatever happened to the simple dreams?

A white picket fence

A wife that loves you

Instead you’ve replaced these.
