Everybody knows there's a dream that makes us all feel good 
Well I haven't had it for some time 
I believe that it was something about love
But I cannot see the details anymore 

Tell us 'bout your dream and the million things that you go and see 
That I gotta say you've done allright 
By the measures of society today 
And I guess that's what you wanted anyway 
Everybody's got it all, the food is on the table, daddy's coming home 
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better off dead allright

Never wanted to relax like you, I don't care about the dreams you dream 
I don't need to make excuses all the time 
All I wanted was some piece of the action 
Everybody's got it all, the food is on the table, daddy's coming home 
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better dead than alive
Everybody's got it all, the facts are on the table, daddy's had it done 
Oh I wanna be surprised, you're better off dead allright
