Sophie
Sophie sings the upper middle-class blues
Boredom is the villain paying her dues
Not a child not an adult in between
Living the hell you knew well called a teen
And I say Sophie what are your dreams?
What will you give away what will you keep?
I ask Sophie what are your dreams?
And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep
Lots of information nothing to learn
In my mind I find a quiet concern
So much potential dead on the inside
I recall the days I wanted to hide
And I say Sophie what are your dreams?
What will you give away what will you keep?
I ask Sophie what are your dreams?
And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep
She’ll have a vacation jetting away
Her parents have money they’re willing to pay
Run away close by or flee really far
But you can never ever leave what you are
And I say Sophie what are your dreams?
What will you give away what will you keep?
I ask Sophie what are your dreams?
And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep
And all my peers grew up to be old
And all my peers their soul is sold
Looking back through the years I know why
Living the truth is harder than living a lie
War rumbles life stumbles things looking black
After you grow up some days you’ll look back
Sophie I tried to warn you it’s red alert
I wrote this with love so child don’t be hurt
And I say Sophie what are your dreams?
What will you give away what will you keep?
I ask Sophie what are your dreams?
And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep
