The Bad Jones - The Dream Lyrics

I've been a victim of the free world
Wondering, have I ever really been me?
I've been accosted by the system
The red tape dance is tangling my feet
I set a date to plead my innocence
I said, "You're honor can't a freeman act in self-defense
When there's a power struggle going on?"
But it seems we're fighting fire with the wind

You've got the power, come on and shout it out
We're asking for a leader, I said, you've got the power
You can put it on your shoulders and
We'll bear the weight together for The Dream

I've been standing in the darkness
But let me tell you, there's a fire in me
I've been waiting for the right time
But it always seems to get away from me
I'm on the brink of changing everything
But maybe just a deep breath is all I really need
Call it a reset, now I've got to push on through

You've got the power, come on and shout it out
We're asking for a leader, I said, you've got the power
You can put it on your shoulders and
We'll bear the weight together for The Dream

Now that we are staring at the crossroads
Can we all admit it's time to make a change?
We've got to raise our voice together
Loud and clear in perfect harmony
I saw the picture hanging on the wall
But now I see the room and the building's about to fall
Whatever happened to the home of the brave?

You've got the power, come on and shout it out
We're asking for a leader, I said, you've got the power
You can put it on your shoulders and
We'll bear the weight together for The Dream
