lyrics

Just like a dishwasher needs a dish.
You’ve gotta have a wish.
Just like a theme park needs a theme
You’ve gotta have a dream

If you don’t have a passion
Choose whatever’s in fashion
In cocktail conversation
It gives you something to say

Like a junkie needs her dope
You’ve gotta have hope.
Like a breast needs an aureole
You’ve got to have a goal.

You need something to flail at
Something for you to fail at.
A star up there to stare at
From millions of miles away.

It’s essential
it’s determinenal
if you don’t want something monumental
You must want something you don’t have
some crazy creed
Something just beyond your reach
some luscious peach you’ll never bite
some delight you’ll never know
something to blow.


A dream will help align you
Helps the critics confine you
Gives a value to assign you
It’s a game that you’ve got to play

Just like a stripper needs a pole
You’ve gotta have a goal.
Just like a color has a scheme.
You’ve gotta have a dream
You’ve gotta have a dream

Like an anorexic needs self-esteem
Like a Russian needs to take a steam
Like a salmon needs to swim upstream
You've gotta have a dream.
You’ve gotta have a dream
You’ve gotta have a dream
