Lyrics
I've Got a Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look and my temper and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist
Can't you see me on the stage performing Mozart
Tickling the ivories till they gleam
Yep, I'd rather be called deadly for my killer show-tune medley
'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream
He's got a dream
He's got a dream
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem
Though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else, I've got a dream
I've got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let's not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter
And my nose
I really want to make a love connection
Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowing in a rowboat down a stream
Though I'm one disgusting blighter
I'm a lover, not a fighter
'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream
I've got a dream
He's got a dream
I've got a dream
He's got a dream
And I know one day romance will reign supreme
Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it dreaming
Like everybody else, I've got a dream
Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunter does interior design
Urf is into mime
Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Ven does little puppet shows
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns
I have dreams like you, no really
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tan and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money
I've got a dream
She's got a dream
I've got a dream
She's got a dream
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream
She's got a dream
She's got a dream
They got a dream
We've got a dream
So our differences ain't really that extreme
We're one big team
Call us brutal
Sick
Sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside we've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
Yes, way down deep inside, I've got a dream
Yeah!
