"Lie, lie, lies everywhere," said the father to the son
Your peppermint breath gonna choke 'em to death
Daddy watch your little black sheep run
He got a knives in his back ev'ry time he opens up
You say, "he got be strong if he wanna be a man"
Mister I don't know how you can have

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Land, land of liberty, we're run by a constipated man
When you live in the past you refuse to see when your daughter
Come home nine months pregnant with five billion points of light
Gonna shine 'em on the face of your friends
They got the earth in a sling, they got the world on her knees
They even got your zipper between their teeth

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have 'em
I say that you're a liar

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on and dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now

Well, well, summer wind been catching up with me
Elephant mind, missy you don't have, you forgetting to fly
Darling, when you sleep I got a hazy, lazy susan
Taking turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes running through my body
Funny how they all have my face

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

You say, you say, you say that you have 'em
I say that you're a liar

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams

Go on, go on, go on and dream
Your house is on fire
Come along now

Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
