I knew a woman
She had six children
There were two hanging on her legs
Two pulling in her arms
And two screaming in their bed
She had a lot of dreams
But they went all out shattered
And nothin’s left in her head

Shattered dreams is all she’s got
Shattered dreams will always stay
Shattered dreams just go away

I knew a young man
He had a big plan
But he had to meet the right one
Before he could make it
To make it reality
He had a lot of girls
They never treated him right
And nothin’s left, but to fight

Shattered dreams is all he’s got
Shattered dreams will always stay
Shattered dreams just go away

Shattered dreams is all they’ve got
Shattered dreams will always stay
Shattered dreams just go away

I knew myself
A long time ago
I just wanted to be like them
Like the very cool ones
And now I’ve found myself here
I had a lot of dreams
Look at what I’d thought I’d got
But find that I have it not

Shattered dreams is all I got
Shattered dreams will always stay
Shattered dreams just go away…
