lyrics

he's sells ideas to them
targeting people who target him
to let live their dreams

he sells what they need
and then he makes them wait four more years.

I bought into
the scam of the man,
but now, I want my money back.

after his victims realized
they wish they never believed his words
when he said "you're going to be a star"

but he sold what they needed that day
and then he made them wait four more years.

and now, we're all singing:

I wished I never dreamed of being something great
because dreaming of being something great
means your soul's going to have to break

unless, you're one of the lucky few
whose dreams didn't forsake you.

can I be one of the lucky few?
if I could, I'd take care of me and you.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
