Dream On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thugs and badmen
Punks and lifers
Doped up interns
Pigs and snitches

[Pre-Chorus]
Rest your weary heads
All is well

[Chorus]
You won't be strip-searched, torn up tonight
You won't be cut up, bleeding tonight
You won't be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
Wishin' you were anywhere else but right here
So dream on

[Verse 2]
Thieves and muggers
Tricks and hustlers
Cheats and traitors
Scum and low-lives

[Pre-Chorus]
Rest your weary heads
All is well
[Chorus]
You won't be sad or broken tonight
You won't be squealed on, ripped up tonight
You won't be backstabbed, double-crossed, face-down
Teeth knocked out, lyin' in a gutter somewhere
So dream on

[Verse 3]
Freaks and junkies
Fakes and phonies
Drunks and cowards
Manic preachers

[Pre-Chorus]
Rest your weary heads
All is well

[Chorus]
You won't be pushed or messed with tonight
You won't be lied to, roughed up tonight
You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
Aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
