The charts are full of cartoons and lawyers
Having a gap year before choosing employers
But what about my life?
Who is singing about that?
They're all very vacuous
And oh so pretty to look at

Dreamers and writers
Risk takers and fighters
Dreamers and writers
Come on and unite us

He's up early, sees the sunrise
Works late and makes last orders
Big burly heartbeat
Working for his daughters
Kindling in the fire
As he fumbles for his cane
As if on a rippling high-wire
He struggles and he sways

Dreamers and writers
Risk takers and fighters
Dreamers and writers
Come on and unite us

What are we waiting for?
Are you gonna let them win?
What are we waiting for?
Are you ready to begin?
Begin with me

Cocker spaniel lays spark out
Tired from chasing his owner
Who's chasing his dreams
As they unravel ream by ream

The charts are full of cartoons and lawyers
Having a gap year before choosing employers
What about my life?
Who is singing about that?
They're all very vacuous
And oh so pretty to look at

Dreamers and writers
Risk takers and fighters
Dreamers and writers
Come on and unite us

What are we waiting for?
Are you gonna let them win?
What are we waiting for?
Are you ready to begin?
Begin with me
Begin with me
