Cling to a Poisoned Dream

Ignored the signs

That decline my peace of mind

So I cling to a poisoned dream

I know you never got yours

Maybe one day, I'll get mine

Yeah, I'm still clinging to this poisoned dream

They call this world a tough one

And I'm not saying they're wrong

Heard if you work a job, you'll be rewarded

So I keep my head down

Swallow what's left of my pride

I'll love this life as soon as I can afford it

Ignored the signs

That decline my peace of mind

So I cling to a poisoned dream

I know you never got yours

Maybe one day, I'll get mine

So I'm still clinging to a poisoned dream

I've seen some of the greatest minds

Stuck begging for money online

Must've been bad luck that somehow hit 'em

Not me, though, I feel fine

Wouldn't there be any other signs

If this wasn't a perfectly adequate

Oh, system?
