Late at night, you're still behind your desk
got your eyes on the stock exchange,
the world's a mess

You don't care 'cause your fortune will hit the sky
you've got more than you will ever need
but still not satisfied

What is left of the dream you once embraced
how we all would change the world into a better place
what has happened to those great ideas
like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared

Here you are, your own kingdom build on lies
always looking out for number one
and keep the world outside

A big house, three cars and a wine vault too
it's just a shame there's no-one left
to drink with you

What is left of the dream you once embraced
how we all would change the world into a better place
what has happened to those great ideas
like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared

Oh you used to be the first one on the barricades
the first to stand up and lead the way

now all that seems to matter is your own estate
and what your bank account is telling you today

What is left of the dream you once embraced
how we all would change the world
what has happened to those great ideas
like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared
