I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week   I mean really good, for more than a month      'Cause I'm chasing a dream   Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry   Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky   And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free   And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down   And you just can't get your ass out of town   And sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave   And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall   And it's the same goddamn thing I told you   Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave   Baby, it's alright   Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave   Baby, it's alright      And I think that's what's happened to me   'Cause I'm walking almost everyday blind   And I'm searching through my past      In a way that isn't healthy, I'm hoping to find   Makes you wanna feel, makes you wanna cry   Makes you wanna tear the stars from the sky   A good list of reasons to know that I'm special   And you're halfway there, but you're halfway down   And you just can't get your ass out of town   To know that I'm different, to know that I'm better   And you can't back up 'cause you're against the wall   And it's the same goddamn thing I told you   Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave   Baby, it's alright   Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave   Baby, it's alright      Look around   Do you see anyone for themselves, like you see yourself?   So why do you still feel so all alone?      Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish   Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish   How many pieces do you wish?   Bubblegum, bubblegum in a dish   How many pieces do you wish?   My mother told me to pick the very best one   And you are it
