Stubborn as religion That's stuck inside your system All the people in the service Look happier than you Now you're dreaming of a life you never knew No one tell the prophet He's a goddamn alcoholic 'Cause his music's making money And the crowds are always pleased But he's dreaming of the man he used to be All of your decisions There in your rear view Options of existence Lives you never knew And with all your apprehension It's harder now to move Dreaming of a life that got away from you Glorify the simple Before you acted on your impulse We used to pray and eat together Talk about tomorrow's weather Then you told yourself there's more to life for you Trying in the city Where the bars are old and shitty I've forgotten what I came for What I carry all this pain for Dreaming of a dream I never thought I'd lose All of your decisions There in your rear view Options of existence Lives you never knew And with all your apprehension It's harder now to move Dreaming of a life that got away from you Dreaming of a life that got away from you
