I'd rather be a dreamer living in the gutter
Sing away the sorrow, helping out each other
Heads above the water, all we hear is laughter
I'd rather be a dreamer than dying inside
Live this life, and I will try my best
A mental war until my dying breath
Live this life with no instruction set
We learn these lessons at the cost of what is earned

I'm too busy existing for even resisting
The conscious level where I'm at
And still I find myself screaming, "Why?"

This is the power we've got
Hey, hey, hey
Beyond our own potential
This is the power we've got
Hey, hey, hey
Living that positive mental

Live this life, this is our everyday
To forge a path along the way to decay
Live this life, not just the words that we say
We take these steps along the path of what we've learned

I'd rather be a dreamer, I'd rather be a dreamer
I'd rather be a dreamer
I'd rather be a dreamer than dying inside

This is the power we've got
Hey, hey, hey
Beyond our own potential
This is the power we've got
Hey, hey, hey
Living that positive mental

And you know what I think?
If the rats wanna sing
Let them sing their death
If the crooks don't care
Well save ourselves
If the rats wanna sail
Let their whole ship sink
If the crooks don't care
At least we've got each other

At least we've got each other
At least we've got ourselves
