A Dollar & A Dream Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

I've got a dollar that I want to save 

Safe in my pocket, I'll try to hold fast 

Hey, it might be my last 

I know what I've got folded safe in its spot 

I earned a dollar, it's not there to share 

I've got a dollar and that's all I've got 

A million more is just a single grain 

A grain of sand or just one drop of rain 

A small amount might make the difference these days 

A dollar and a dream is all I could raise 

I had a dream, I had all the answers 

To all the questions I've ever been asked 

And in my dream I had all the answers 

To all the questions I've ever asked myself 

Man, what a dream, it sure felt great 

Took to the streets 'cause I couldn't wait 

To free give wisdom and share what I knew 

I had a dream and that's all I had 

A million here lay down in pain every night 

A million there to stay alive must fight 

I'm sure my numbers underestimate 

A dollar and a dream, I swear it's not too late 

I had a dollar and I wanted to save 

Keep in my pocket, I held fast 

A dollar bill that I would take to my grave 

Deep in my pocket like it was my last 

Look for the dollar, now it's not there 

Even the pants are a different pair 

I earned the dollar, I had to share 

I had a dollar and that's all I had 

A million more is just a star in the sky 

Tip of the iceberg but we've all got to try 

Our work's cut out and there's work to be done 

A dollar and a dream is step number, step number one
