Sweet dreams are made of this
What should I bother to agree?
travel to the moon and seventh heaven
Everybody’s looking to get in on the game
Some of them are looking for fame
Some of them want to defame you
Some of them have no shame
Some of them want me to take the blame
Sweet dreams are made of this
What should I bother to agree?
Been to the moon and seventh heaven
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to read your poetry
Some of them like that picture of you up in the tree
Some of them want your stuff for free
Some of them want to walk by your home with their pedigree
I want to flip him and bug him
I want to know what annoys him
I want him to think of me
Leaving my name a mystery
(whispering) Keep your head up, walking by
Hold your head up, walking by
don’t ever think “I’m living a lie”
don’t ever say “I’ll tell him ‘why’ ”
Movin' on!
Sweet dreams are made of this
What should I bother to agree?
Been to the moon and seventh heaven
Everybody wants to be a part of this
They may be worried there is something they might miss
They may tell a lie to get in on this
Some of them want to dislike you
Some of them want to be disliked by you
Some of them got nothing better to do
Some of them want to be a hero, too
Who am I to disagree?
Why would it matter to me?
Does it matter what I do?
As long as you get to what you want
Put your order in for new chairs, movies and lots of magazines
You all got a sweet tooth now, you never going to give up the ice cream
You never gonna stop abusing me
It pays way too much money
This sweet dream might even be funny
If, for her, it didn’t turn into a sad dream
Sad dreams are made of this
Do you agree?
Been ‘round the block a thousand times
Buy another pizza to ring his chimes
The rainbow is the new designs
Making you a lot of money every time he salutes old glory
We need a bigger budget because we all worry
Sweet dreams are made of this
What should I bother to agree?
Been to the moon and seventh heaven
How ‘bout if I disagree?
What good will it do me?
Everyone has a new friend
Everyone Got a new pic to send
Everyone now wants to be so cool
Sweet dreams are not for fools
This sweet dream might even be funny
If, for her, it didn’t turn into a sad dream
Sad dreams are made of this
She’s the coolest, no?
Do you agree?

Excellent
'tis a very fine write, indeed. You have expressed yourself quite well. Thanks for sharing this one with us. -
Annie Lennox and her ex-partner did a\ much better job.

It's an interesting poetic progression somewhat like song lyrics. I think I remember a similar song title similar. I enjoyed the read. Happy trails.
-
Oh. This is a nice little poem that you have penned in here.
Well, it's really more of song lyrics anyways, right? I recognized the song that you were writing from right away because I used to love listening to that song. It is very similar to it. The one thing I would like to say though, is that they yellow font is really hard to read. It's kind of bright. So you might want to consider toning it down some.

Wow this is wonderful I loved the rhyem and ryhem, wonderful flow of words, and the detail is awsome. It was a pleasure to read.
-
Aaaah! Well I must say I loved the 1st part of the poem, though it is extremely alike with the song. But...I cannot finish reading it as the yellow font colour makes my eyes twitch. I feel mental. Would love to finish reading it tho. Bs
