Don’t Dream It’s Over

Don’t Dream It’s Over
Crowded House

There is freedom within,
There is freedom without.
Try to catch the deluge
In a paper cup.
There’s a battle ahead,
Many battles are lost.
But you’ll never see the end of the road
While you’re traveling with me.

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over.
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in.
They’ll come, they’ll come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won’t win

Now I’m towing my car.
There’s a hole in the roof.
My possessions are causing me suspicion,
But there’s no proof.
In the paper today,
Tales of war and of waste.
But you turn right over
To the TV page.

Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over.
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in.
They’ll come, they’ll come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won’t win

Now I’m walking again,
To the beat of a drum.
And I’m counting the steps
To the door of your heart.
Only shadows ahead,
Barely clearing the roof.
Get to know the feeling
Of liberation and relief.
Hey now, hey now
Don’t dream it’s over.
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in.
They’ll come, they’ll come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won’t win
