Upstart youth and rebels all
We were dreamin'
Ten years ago
Ten years ago
Were we dreamin'?
Holding ransom calling truce
Ten years ago
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Were we dreamin'?
Like he's always done before
Ten years ago
Clear stretching out into the mirk
And the old wave hierarchy
There are men employing men
Meets extinction on the seas
I was dreamin'
Employing men, employing men
As the new wave rebel hoards
Counting points of social scale
That forms a queue of paperwork
Bad manners still in style
Who fill in forms, employing men
While our water brother whale
Because they have to
Who have faded to the wall
And looking dangerous
Whatever system
So that nine-tenths don't produce
Employing men, employing men
While the tax man robs the poor
Ten years ago
Scribble balls on notice boards
On a million wounded knees
And a very low profile
Try to take 'em seriously
We were dreamin'
