A young boy has a dream
Grow up and be anything
Then he goes to school
Learns it's not so cool
They take everything
And then the dream goes cold
A young girl at the start
Believes what's in her heart
As the years go by
Learns she cannot fly
The dream falls apart
Dream killer
You'll fall into step, you'll see it's for the best
Dream killer
You'll fit in the mold, you'll do what you're told
Another dream goes cold
You're too young, you're too old
You're too shy, you're too bold
You're too big, you're too small
You're too short, you're too tall (Ohhh)
You're too y, you're too x
You're too now, you're too next
You're too right, you're too left
You're too east, you're too west (Ohhh)
Dream killer
You'll fall into step, you'll see it's for the best
Dream killer
You'll fit in the mold, you'll do what you're told
Another dream goes cold
She's grown now and she sees
A lifetime of broken dreams
It tears her up inside
Was too afraid to fly
She could have been anything
An old man looking back
Thinks of all he could have had
Is it now too late
Now that I'm old and gray
The dream fades to black
Dream killer
You'll fall into step, you'll see it's for the best
Dream killer
You'll fit in the mold, you'll do what you're told
And then the dream goes cold
