[Chorus]
Ignored the signs
That decline my peace of mind
So I cling to a poisoned dream
I know you never got yours
Maybe one day I'll get mine
Yeah, I'm still clinging to this poisoned dream

[Verse 1]
They call this world a tough one
And I'm not saying they're wrong
Heard if you work a job, you'll be rewarded
So I keep my head down
Swallow what's left of my pride
I'll love this life as soon as I can afford it

[Chorus]
Ignored the signs
That decline my peace of mind
So I cling to a poisoned dream
I know you never got yours
Maybe one day I'll get mine
So I'm still clinging to this poisoned dream

[Verse 2]
I've seen some of the greatest minds
Stuck begging for money online
Must have been bad luck that somehow hit 'em
Not me though, I feel fine
Wouldn't there be any other signs
If this wasn't a perfectly adequate
Oh, system?
