There was a little fiction
In a big black poem
Always wondering about
The young world beyondAnd like all the others here
They had a life full security
And like all the others here
They were born with the low degreesSometimes I wish
I could be like them
And now think about
That goddamn thingSometimes I wish
I could dream like them
Maybe then, maybe thenAnd the officers girl
She loves to love and dance
Carried her heart on her sleeve
In the palm of her handsAnd like all the others here
She took the time to see and feel
And like all the others here
Begged for gold to see and feelSometimes I wish
I could be like her
Give it in
To this outside pressureSometimes I wish
I could move like her
Maybe then, maybe thenGet some piece of my
My darling
Get some sleep cause I'm tired
Of fightingSometimes I wish
I could be like them
And I'm thinking about
That goddamn thingSometimes I wish
I could be like them
Maybe then, maybe thenGet some piece of my
My darling
Get some sleep cause I'l tired
Of fighting
