She didn't want to be there
so she left to a place
where she could be free
among the while
with a smile upon her face
**** the society, she said
"Take me to the fairytales"
like in the books she read
It's better when you're dreaming
than to wake up to a world
with a numb like feeling
The american dream never turned out right
it's all about currency
not even our rights
we are forced to work
to live our lives
so we can afford
food to keep us alive
What if we just took a chance?
Going against the government
so we can change it
life is what you make it
Let's just turn this around
are you in?
Shut the whole system down
we can win
The girl feels free right now
she lives on her own
grows her fruit and builds a town
for herself in the woods
just know that she just could
if she dreamed it she can receive it.
