Leaning On My Dream Lyrics

Leaning On My Dream lyrics

I was walkin to the corner drug store

and what should I happen to see

there were picket lines

and the people were a shoutin'

"Down
with democracy"

as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said

"buddy where do you stand"?

I said "I stand wherever I choose my
friend

and you best let go of my hand"

as I walked away on a sunny
day, I swear IA heard him scream

"you know you're leanin' on my dream"

"Hey man you're leanin on my dream"



Got home and turned on the
tv set

and sat me down to eat

and a man came on

talkin' bout
the coppers

they were blockin' off another street

Seems some folks
was raisin' cain

and a riot had broke out



and they flashed
the camera on the guy who had stopped me

I watched him runnin' about

as the cops were draggin him away

I heard on of 'em scream

"you
know you're leanin' on my dream"

"these kids are leanin' on my dream"



oh yeah



well I got up and turned off the tv set

and to tell you I was feelin' mean

an I thought a while

tryin to
make some sense

out of everything that I have seen



I was
addin' the score when there's a knock on the door

was a letter addressed
to me

It read "greetings from the president, united states"

I fell
down on my knees



The next day I was on the picket line

and
Lord you should have heard me scream

"you know you're leanin' on my
dream"

"hey man you're leanin' on my dream"
