lyrics

Did you ever have a dream
That meant everything to you
That you held within your heart
And you never shared

Even those you've loved
And the ones who've loved you
Never knew about your dream
Because of how it made you feel so vulnerable

Then that one day/
you told them all about it
That time you bared your soul
And their reaction was not what you expected Or /ever thought,
because they shot your dreams down like a fleeing outlaw
Like a runaway slave
Maybe they laughed while
Your dreams were

Gunned down at sundown

The lie that they tell everyone
Is you should follow your dreams
But what they really mean is
keep them hidden And
toil away in your meaningless existence

Follow your dreams they say
But not too closely
They will lead you astray
And mess you up mostly
Don’t hope don’t dream don’t love don’t seek
Just do what you do
and what you’ve always done for 40 plus hours a week
And let your dreams be

Gunned down at sundown
So they die in the night time
Instead of the light
Don’t let your dream’s remains be identified
Even though you know it’s not right

Gunned down at Sundown

Did you ever have a dream
that meant everything to you
That you held within you heart
That you never shared
Because the lie they tell everyone is
Follow your dreams
but they really mean is
Keep them hidden and toil away in your meaningless existence

Follow your dreams they say
But not too far
Don’t be late to work
Don’t ever take a day off
Don’t hope don’t dream
don’t love don’t seek
Don’t hope don’t dream
don’t love don’t seek

Just do what you do
and what you’ve always done for 40 plus hours a week
And let your dreams be

Gunned down at sundown
