Sometimes i'll be dreaming as I lie awake Clutching a handful of dreams that could tumble and break They feel like they're slipping away That's only so much wisdom that you can teach When the world's out of reach You pull me back to my feet There's no way I'm accepting defeat Don't listen to word that they say Or your dreams will be tamed There's enough time for the beast in you not to be caged This passion I feel every day I don't want it to be just a memory You can work in this city, die in this city You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing You're more than they're selling you And the path is your right to choose You can work in this city, die in this city You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing You're more than they're selling you And the path is your right to choose Watch as we sleepwalk our way Still facing the tide that comes crashing as though we were blind This warning shot's send to remind Don't listen to word that they say But your dreams will be tamed There's enough time for the beast in you not to be caged This passion I feel every day I don't want it to be just a memory You can work in this city, die in this city You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing You're more than they're selling you And the path is your right to choose You can work in this city, die in this city You'll make enough money to spend it on nothing You're more than they're selling you And the path is your right to choose I'm so scared of winding up static in my stations Helpless, unable to kill off my frustrations I get the feeling we can't waste another chance we get Another chance we get You can work in this city, die in this city Or make enough money to spend it on nothing You're more than they're selling you And the path is your right to choose So in your own time make up your own mind Live for yourself, you're doing just fine Without what they believe is the right choice for you and me Is the right choice for you and me
