Living the Dream

Everybody gather round
 And listen to my dream, you're bound
 To thank me when I'm done
 So here is one
 I was there and you were too
 But it wasn't exactly you
 And it wasn't really even me
 Don't you see
 I don't expect
 For you to understand completely
 Even I
 Don't ask why
 Cause it can't be summed up neatly
 Word of mouth began to fly
 So when people promised to pay to publish, I
 Reluctantly agreed
 Cause people need
 A voice for those without one, I've
 Tried to keep the dream alive
 Now I'm leaving it up to you
 To misconstrue
 And oh, have you seen
 In the May or may not issue
 Of some Vague magazine
 Interpretations like that make you wish you
 Kept shut your mouth
 And your heart cause your subconscious
 Should be yours
 And no one else's
 I shall die a thousand deaths
 Oh
 The dream is over
 Oh
 I can't believe it
 That the world went on without me
 Now I'm that much more behind
 But I'll be all right, cause
 Wide awake or sound asleep
 Either way, we're all counting sheep
 No, I don't dream for a living
 I'm just living the dream
 I'm living the dream
 I'm living the dream
