Prince - Dreamer Lyrics

I was born, raised on a slave plantation
In the United States of the red, white and blue
Never knew that I was different
Till Dr. King was on a balcony lyin' in a bloody pool

I expected so much more from a lovin', a lovin', lovin' society
A truthful explanation, you know what
I got another, another conspiracy

If it was just a dream, listen
Call me, call me a dreamer too

With more rewards and accolades then anyone before or after
21st century, oh what a shame, what a shame race, race still matters
A race to what and where we goin'
We in the same boat but I'm the only one rowin'

Last time I checked you were sleepin'
But you can call me a dreamer too

Peanut butter logic, served on a bed of lies
Don't go down too easy when you've seen your father cry
Have you ever clutched the steerin' wheel in your car too tight
Prayin' that the police sirens just pass you by that night

While the helicopter circles us, this theory's gettin' deep
Think they're sprayin' chemicals over the city while we sleep

From now on I'm stayin' awake
You can call me a dreamer too
