New American Language Lyrics

Dan Bern

Yeah, but sometimes I think the thing to do
Would be to get a place way out in Missouri
Put down as many months rent as you can part with
Tell everybody else you went to France

I said, 'Remember that conversation we had about love'
I said, 'Well, I think that you were right'
She said, 'I don't remember sayin' nothin' about love
It must have been a fantasy of the moment'
I have a dream, I have a dream

I dream of joining the Mafia
And whether people like me is unimportant
I dream of your clock radio
Waking you up with my songs

I have a dream of a New American Language
I dream of new beginnings
I dream of saturation bombing
I dream mostly about love
