Don’t believe what you hearDon’t believe what you seeIf you just close your eyesYou can feel the enemyWhen I first met you girlYou had fire in your soulWhat happened your faceOf melting in snowNow it looks like thisAnd you can swallowOr you can spitYou can throw it upOr choke on itAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudYou know that your time is coming ’roundSo don’t let the bastards grind you downNo, nothing makes senseNothing seems to fitI know you’d hit outIf you only knew who to hitAnd I’d join the movementIf there was one I could believe inYeah I’d break bread and wineIf there was a church I could receive in’cause I need it nowTo take a cupTo fill it upTo drink it slowI can’t let you goI must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd don’t let the bastards grind you downOh, it hurts baby(What are we going to do now it’s all been said)(No new ideas in the house and every book has been read)And I must be an acrobatTo talk like thisAnd act like thatAnd you can dreamSo dream out loudAnd you can findYour own way outYou can buildAnd I can willAnd you can callI can’t wait untilYou can stashAnd you can seizeIn dreams beginResponsibilitiesAnd I can loveAnd I can loveAnd I know that the tide is turning ’round
So don’t let the bastards grind you down
