lyrics
All of you restless American dreamers, hold on to the hopeful day
When the sound of our laughter, will break like the dawn of a new day,
The dawn of a new day, dawn, of a new day, dawn of a new day
On all those hateful faces.
The sound of our laughter and song, will break like the dawn of a new day,
On all those hateful faces. I can’t wait to see it? Can you?
All you restless American dreamers, hold on to the hopeful day,
When the sound of our laughter and song, will break like the dawn of a new day, break like the dawn of a new day, on all those hateful faces.
What a illogical parade of state fair festivities, we will be.
We’ll strut around with artichokes and beets and rutabegas,
and all kinds of, all kinds of colored broccoli.
The sound of our laughter and songs, will break like the dawn of a new day,
On all those hateful faces
Let me get something straight with you. Let’s communicate.
Baby you, give it to me, tell me what you want, tell me what you need baby
Tell me how you want to be loved. Tell me how you want to be loved.
Cuz I only want to love you, the way, that you want to be.
All of you restless American dreamers, hold on to the hopeful day,
When the sound of our laughter, will break like the dawn of a new day,
Will break like the dawn of a new day,
On all those hateful faces.
