Dreams Don't Come True

I thought there'd be a man in a suit and a ten-gallon hat

He'd give me a deal and a red Cadillac

I'd make hit records and get hooked on drugs

But I wound up pregnant and strung out on love

Dreams don't come true

They'll make a mess out of you

They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind

They'll bleed your heart black and blue

Don't let anyone tell you they do

Dreams don't come true

I thought I'd change the world with three chords and the truth

I'd be like Elvis but with lipstick and boobs

My bra would be floatin' in a guitar-shaped pool

And I'd flip the bird to them whores in high school

Dreams don't come true

They'll make a mess out of you

They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind

They'll bleed your heart black and blue

Don't let anyone tell you they do

Dreams don't come true

I hate to put a damper on the fairy tale you pictured

I shoulda known all along that glass slippers give you blisters

Dreams don't come true

They'll make a mess out of you

They'll hang around the darkest corners of your mind

They'll bleed your heart black and blue (Black and blue)

Don't let anyone tell you they do

Dreams don't come true
