John Wesley Harding - Why We Fight

Millionaire's Dream

I'm a quiet guy, lead a quiet life
Got a quiet way and a quiet wife
I don't say too much, if there's nothing to say
I just watch the silence blow my day away

Put the tv on, but there's nothing to see
Just people talking endlessly
About things to buy, more shows to see
Might mean something to someone, means nothing to me

And when I go to bed, I sing to her
Then I go to sleep, and dream of dreaming

Walk down the street, wish I'd stayed in
Shoulda taken the car out for a spin
People ask for money, say I'm sorry for you
I'm in debt for life, I should be begging too

Had a dream that I was dreaming
Woke up with a start
A millionaire with a broken heart
Not me

So I don't want nothing, and I don't need much
'cos I'm a millionaire with a midas touch
The bank, God and tomorrow lay seige my home
And I wish they'd just leave us alone

And when I go to bed...
