Renting the dream
Renting the dream
The roof caved in last night
Even though I had paid
Paid for your service
Paid for your dream
I barely know your name
The one I paid the way for
Your dream is my nightmare
And still I pay
Is this all we aspire to be?
Not much of a dream society
A very imperial way of being
This divisive device called rent
So many dreams are lost
Bubbles are built to burst
That is their nature
Not human nature
~ Camille
