Never got love from a government man Heading downstream till the levee gives in What can I do to get the money We ain’t go the money we ain’t gettin out Heading downstream till the levee gives in And my dreams are wearin’ thin All I need’s relief I need I need some sympathy Look at me I just can’t believe What they’ve done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I just can’t believe What they’ve done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream All of my life been wadin' in Water so deep now we got to swim Wonder will it ever end How long how long till we have a friend Comin down feelin like a battery hen Waves won’t break till the tide comes in What will I do in the sunrise What will I do without my dreams Look at me I just can’t believe What they’ve done to me We could never get free I just wanna be Look at me I just can’t believe What they’ve done to me We could never get free I just wanna be I just wanna dream We’re all together in the same boat I know you you know me Baby you know me We’re all together in the same boat I know you you know me Baby you know me We’re all together in the same boat I know you you know me Baby
