We Live As We Dream, Alone Lyrics - Gang Of Four

Everybody is in too many pieces 

No man's land surrounds our desires 

To crack the shell, we mix with others 

Some lie in the arms of lovers 

The city is the place to be 

With no money you go crazy 

I need an occupation 

You have to pay for satisfaction 

We live as we dream, alone 

To crack the shell, we mix with the others 

Some flirt with fascism 

Some lie in the arms of lovers 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

Everybody is in too many pieces 

No man's land surrounds me 

With no money we'll all go crazy 

(We apologize) 

Man and woman need to work 

It helps us define ourselves 

We were not born in isolation 

But sometimes it seems that way 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

The space between our work and its product 

Some fall into fatalism 

As if it started this way 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

(We live as we dream, alone) 

We live as we dream, alone 

(We were not born in isolation) 

We live as we dream, alone 

(But sometimes it seems that way) 

(The space between our work and its product) 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

(As if it always must be this way) 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

We live as we dream, alone 

(With no money we'll all go crazy)
