The dream was not a vision Or some premonition Like we were told It was no figment of the imagination To prove that we could be bought or sold The doctrine of the dogma Could be revealed to the intelligent But this is what I resent Who cares for the ignorant the intelligent The cynics approach must be Who cares for anything in this whole wide world And this opinion must not confuse the issue My appearance my condition or state of delivery I am stating the obvious This is a protest There must be a conclusion This is no Shakespearian speech This is a statement made by one Who cannot practice what he preaches
The Statue of Liberty has engraved on its wall Give me your poor give me your needy Give me them all We need something like this For this world to co-exist It would be so easy to act so pretentious To act as if it was hypocrisy To act condescending But in fact it's the world we're mending And that's why I can't relax Cause inside my coat it's a pistol that I pack We must beware of a suprise nuclear attack We must be ready to strike back I'm not pretending our defences they need mending We must keep on spending Forget the third world is ending is starving Is crying is desolate It's oh so late I would dearly love to return Through a mirror in twenty years And learn what the future has in store for us And if I learnt that we lost And there was no hope For those that think I would turn to drink And drink is drugs And drugs would help me sink And like a boat I'd float Sail out to the skies To the universe and back Maybe to give it another try I don't know why why Jack Just to go further and farther Just to learn just to be nearer
