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!
