we think it a wise investment

for the future to stay in the present

you should be more practical

not so concerned with things magical

you should make some plans

to become a real man

let reality bounce those dream-written checks

 

get your head out of the clouds

a waste of time only childhood allowed

take the wheel and start to steer

towards a living much more clear

we cut you out a home of health

a production line of wealth

if you drive on dreams, you're bound to wreck

 

we want you to want what we have

committed in reality rehab

forget the dreams you want to follow

have a blue pill that we swallowed

and we choke down still

to help feel fulfilled

if you're drunk on dreams, your outlook is a mess

 

look, a charmless 40 year old goof

you say you're happy, but we don't see the proof

in status measured amounts

of square footage and back accounts

you have such success to gain

if you lead your heart to follow your brain

because if you live in dreams, life is but a guess
