The Dream Is Over Lyrics

(Words by Van Halen) 

Psst! 

Hey, come on man. Wake up

Yea-yeah!

I see the power changin' hands

Risin' from the streets

A self-made businessman

Knows how the system can be beat

Oh, 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. No!

It's ah, easy money

It's a way out

Join the family

No middleman. No IRS

Your ticket out of poverty

Oh, 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 (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Dream another dream

This dream is over (Ahh-ahh) 

Dream another dream (Dream another dream)

This dream is over (Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

Over, yeah 

So dream another dream!

(Guitar Solo)

Oh!

Ow!

Ow! It's a rip-off

We're stepped on and cheated

Flat stone cold lied to

We're not defeated. No!

Dream another dream

This dream is over (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Dream another dream

This dream is over, over (Dream another dream)

Dream another dream

This dream is over, oh (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Dream another dream

This dream is over. Over, yeah (Dream another dream)

(Dream) Dream another dream (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Dream another dream

(Dream) Dream another dream (Ooo-ooo-ooo)

Oh, this dream is over

(Dream) Dream another dream (Dream another dream)

Dream another dream
