i'm tired
a' bein' wired
all fired
up
had enuff' a' that stuff
tired a bein' down
tired a bein' the man about town
done heard that sound
don't like what i found

tired a' livin'
on dreams
tired a' given'
full steams
tired a' swimmin' upstreams

tired a' clouds
in the sky
tired a' shoutin' outlouds
"why?"

tired a' all my schemes
tired a livin' on dreams

time ta' face reality
ta' learn ta' be
me
time ta' see
no more dreams

no more pie in the sky
no more askin' "why?"
time ta' live
before i die
time ta' give
more than a lie
before i say "good-bye!"

so no more schemes

so i know
before i go

no more dreams
