An Old English Dream |
| They say this fair city has ten thousand souls |
| Some live in mansions |
| And some live in holes |
| Some eat from silver |
| And some eat from gold |
| Some sift through garbage |
| And sleep in the cold |
| I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars |
| I saw a deep river all choked up with cars |
| A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream |
| An old English church yard and an old English dream |
| Once we had a country |
| And thought it so fair |
| If you look through the mirror |
| You can still find it there |
| But now our great country |
| Is broken and torn |
| And all of its promise |
| And liberties worn |
| I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars |
| I saw a deep river all choked up with cars |
| A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream |
| An old English church yard and an old English dream |
| I saw a great plain in winter |
| All covered in snow |
| Ten thousand soldiers |
| That marched to and fro |
| I saw a broken down building |
| With ten thousand doors |
| But none of them open |
| And none of them yours |
| I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars |
| I saw a deep river all choked up with cars |
| A babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream |
| An old English church yard and an old English dream |
