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 see the power changin' hands

Risin' from the streets

A self-made businessman

Knows how the system can be beat

We're the lost generation

Have no place to go

The road to destruction

Is all we need to know

'Cuz it's a rip-off

We're stepped on and cheated

We're flat stone cold lied to

We're not defeated

It's ah, easy money

It's a way out

Join the family

No middleman. No IRS

Your ticket out of poverty

We're the lost generation

I hold fate from a string

Lookin' for a direction

Reachin' out for anything

So, dream another dream

This dream is over

Dream another dream

This dream is over

Dream another dream

This dream is over

Over, yeah

So dream another dream!

Ow! It's a rip-off

We're stepped on and cheated

Flat stone cold lied to

We're not defeated

Dream another dream

This dream is over

Dream another dream

This dream is over, over

Dream another dream

This dream is over
