From the recording Blood and Beer and Poetry (Download version)
'Living the Dream' is pure fantasy. Taking the expression "Living the Dream" literally, the lyrics tell of a dream come true - so much money we don't know that to do, nothing to do but party all night and day. The reggae beat puts the listener on an island paradise, the lyrics are suggestive and fun. The bridge reminds us that that with a dream there really is wealth inside your head, and we need to live every day.
Lyrics
Living the Dream
Monday, sip margaritas on the beach
Party all night and day
Tuesday, shots of tequila on the beach
Party all night and day
Wednesday, wine and beer on the beach
Party all night and day
Thursday we’ll run naked on the beach
Party all night and day
Woh, oh, woh, oh, woh, oh, woh
We're living the dream (we're living the dream)
We're living the dream (we're living the dream)
So much money we don't know what to do
Too high to think and so we never do
We bought the sun now it shines night and day
Just lie on the beach and play, play, play
Friday for fun let’s win the lottery
$50 million is just spare change
Saturday I learn Bill Gates is my uncle
$100 million for my birthday
Sunday you could have been a supermodel
But it wasn't worth it for the pay
And I could have made a killing on Wall Street
But it didn't fit into my day
Chorus
We're living the dream (we're living the dream)
We're living the dream (We're living the dream)
Spend every day having too much fun
No work, just play and lay in the sun
So much money we don't know what to do
All the time we want to lay around and screw
Bridge
Wealth inside your head
Gotta live before you're dead
Nirvana, heaven, enlightenment
Alcohol and dred
We’re living the dream (repeat and fade)
