Got failing light and aching bones, Got beds in 
subways, paper homes 
Got clear blue skies and rainy days, Got sailors 
sailing, sailing 
Got mighty ships to cross the sea, Got plenty of room 
for you and me 
Got babies being born HIV, Got programmes failing, 
failing 
CHORUS 1
Liberty and freedom all the things that men require 
Children singing, church bells ringing, objects of 
desire 
Football teams and crazy scenes from 1967 
And we got great dreams of Heaven! 
VERSE 2
Got TV shows from satellite, got company on winter 
night 
Excess of pills of pure delight, got flags all waving 
Got sandy beaches everywhere, fuel injected cars to get 
us there 
Got pension plans and healthcare, Got daylight saving 
CHORUS 2
Decency and honesty, the things that folk depend on 
Introduction, a dirty joke, and then a song to end 
levelled 
And we got great dreams of Heaven 
VERSE 3
Got ways of living, left and right, fast talking chat 
shows, sponsored fight 
Got kids who'll steal for just a hit, Politicians 
talking, talking 
Got idols selling fizzy drink, got reckless stealing 
everything 
So what going on it's hard to think, soap stars are 
singing, singing 
CHORUS 3
Verdant scenes and ways and means to understand our 
being 
Holocaust, catastrophe and beauty we are seeing 
Harder times of holy wine and bread that is unleavened 
And we got great dreams of Heaven 
CHORUS 4
Crazy leaders, self assured who sit atop their nations 
Banners headed "Peace and Freedom! Justice and 
Damnation!" 
Cold wind blowing, embers glowing, God knows where 
we're heading 
And we got great dreams of Heaven
