I've been working in these here fields It's like it's something real Like it's got something to do with me Looking out on a wasted life With a wasted wife Who will have nothing to do with me But I wear a dream hat now, one that's made of silk and lace I wear a dream hat now, the only way to leave this place I wear a dream hat now and give up on the human race I wear a dream hat now so I don't have to see your face I have suffered a million fools In factories and schools And in my little trailer home I have suffered a million fools In rags and in jewels I just want to be let alone But I wear a dream hat now, one that's made of silk and lace I wear a dream hat now, the only way to leave this place I wear a dream hat now and give up on the human race I wear a dream hat now so I don't have to see your face
