Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You might know of the original sin

And you might know how to play with fire

But did you know of the murder committed?

In the name of love, yeah, you thought what a pity

[Chorus]

Dream on white boy (White boy)

Dream on black girl (Black girl)

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

[Verse 2]

There was a time when I did not care

And there was a time when the facts did stare

There is a dream and it's held by many

Well, I'm sure you had to see it's open arms

[Chorus]

Dream on white boy (White boy)

Dream on black girl (Black girl)

Then wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

[Verse 3]

You might know of the original sin

You might know how to play with fire

But did you know of the murder committed?

In the name of love, yeah, you thought what a pity

[Chorus]

Dream on white boy (White boy)

Dream on black girl (Black girl)

Then wake up to a brand new day

Dream on black boy (Black boy)

Dream on white girl (White girl)

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams have washed away

Dream on black boy (Black boy)

Dream on white girl (White girl)

And wake up to a brand new day

To find your dreams are washed away

[Outro]

Dream on (Play with fire)

White boy, black girl

Dream on (In the name of love)

Black boy, white girl

Dream on (White boy, black girl)

Black boy, white girl

Dream on

The name of love, yeah, you thought what a pity

[Outro]

Yeah!

Original sin!
