John Steinbeck - Poor Man's Dream lyrics

[Hook] Work good, eat good, live good Work good, eat good, live good Work good, eat good, live good Work good, eat good, live good [Verse 1: George] I'm focused to find my rule Focused to find my diamond I'm finding to be the light that maintains the hope to be shining To get us out off this ranch one that has been confining Us to a life of despair One that's been undermining Our souls which shouldn't be fair Cuz' we're allowed to be climin' To better things if we dare There is always room for mobility anywhere though My spirit knows that I have to focus on my true identity To mentally enter the highest state where I know they'll be prosperity And with this dream there'll always be sincerity clarity and solidarity I'm inspired cause of this we can be never fired Now I can go get what I truly desire (Which is to) [Hook] [Verse 2: Candy] Old man's dreams of getting richer And we separate the negatives from the positive pictures I'm just tired of getting blisters, I need to leave this ranch to survive another winter And with this dream I'll have my own space, one where I'll have security and I could be safe From having myself being kicked off from these places Love, hate, trust, lust 4 things that people fight for live entire lives for Grow old, so old eventually they die for money, power, and respect Yes, and I'm finally closer to this than it's ever seemed (So that one day I can finally) [Hook] [Verse 3: Crooks] If they turned my life into a book I wouldn't get a fable Since I'm of a darker color they wouldn't think I'm able To handle anything else so they pushed me back to the stable Acting like I couldn't bring anything else back to the table But ain't things going to change? Ain't things going to change? Ain't things going to change? Believe and achieve I'm been believing for a minute what's the means to achieve Believing in these dreams more than I've ever had actually Believing that my fantasy can quite well become reality Seeing that there's somewhere I would be finally accepted Not only that but I can also be protected not neglected
