Lyrics

We had a cool hand, we thought we had it all on a silver spoon
In our time the technigod left his footprints on the moon
We could stop a war in Asia, we were born to grow up free
And for any dream we wanted, we only had to shake the tree

But look what came down ? Yeah, just look what came down

Those dreams of freedom turned to ashes in our hand
They put locks on the gates of Eden, border guards on the Promised Land
And we fumble in our pockets to show them our papers through the wire
But they tell us they?re only dream tickets and dream tickets have expired

Look what came down ? Yeah, just look what came down

Bridge
Where once we tore the fencing out, there?s a wall now twice as strong
Did we think we could topple Jericho armed only with a song?
Once we cherished sweet ideals and reached to touch the stars
When did we settle for six packs and VCRs?

12 String Instrumental Break

Well I?m not ready for my table yet inside this sad café?
You might find us inconvenient but we aren?t about to fade away
?Cause there?s unfinished business here and still a part to play
For those who never threw their faded dream tickets away

Look what came down ? Yeah, just look what came down
Hold that dream, hold that dream
