Tom MacDonald is definitely one of a kind and has very interesting songs to say the least. Some might offend you and he doesn't care. If you don't like it, just don't listen, that's part of the fun of being a free thinker, you can choose what you don't want to pay attention to in your life, even on the small scale. This song "Dreams" though is really awesome and is not one of his offensive songs, it's more a song, literally as the title says, about dreams, it's worth checking out.
Here's the lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Once upon a time I told my mom about a passion,
I'm not goin' to college, I'ma be a white rapper
Thoughts become words, and words become actions
10 years later a happily ever after
Everybody gotta go to school, get a job,
Buy a house, have a kid, get engaged, buy a car
We forgot about the dreams that are deep inside our hearts
Then we turn into our parents, and then the cycle restarts
(Refrain)
Does anyone remember how to drŠµam?
Does anyone remember what it means?
Is everyone addicted to a screen?
Anyone anywhere, or is everyone everywhere okey-dokey with livin' in the machine?
Does anyone remember what it's like?
Does anyone remember how to fight?
Will everybody really be alright?
Anyone anywhere, or is everyone everywhere only dreaming when they fall asleep at night?
(Pre-chorus)
We forgot who we were before the school and work
Before we learned that life hurts so bad
Now we're expecting the worst at every corner we turn
I wonder when will we learn to go back
(Chorus)
We all have dreams that no one believes in
Make me feel bad, I'll knock your teeth in
We all have dreams, real big dreams, big as* dreams
Don't be sleepin' 'cause you won't see who you could be
(Verse 2)
Once upon a time, I told my homies I'd be famous
None of them believed me, but I knew that I would make it
Evicted from my condo, I was broke, but I was patient
Ten years later, I'm on everybody's playlist
Everyone who graduated school has it worse
Had a kid, got divorced, went in debt, went to work
They forgot about the dreams of takin' over the world
Traded everything for money or power or pretty girls
(Refrain)
Does anyone remember how to dream?
Does anyone remember what it means?
Is everyone addicted to a screen?
Anyone anywhere, or is everyone everywhere okey-dokey with living in the machine?
Does anyone remember what it's like?
Does anyone remember how to fight?
Will everybody really be alright?
Anyone anywhere, or is everyone everywhere only dreaming when they fall asleep at night?
(Pre-chorus)
We forgot who we were before the school and work
Before we learned that life hurts so bad
Now we're expectin' the worst at every corner we turn
I wonder when will we learn to go back
(Chorus)
We all have dreams that no one believes in
Make me feel bad, I'll knock your teeth in
We all have dreams, real big dreams, big as* dreams
Don't be sleepin' 'cause you won't see who you could be
(Bridge)
They call me a dreamer, say I'm out of my mind
They don't believe in the magic that's inside
Look in the mirror, you're one of a kind
With two middle fingers, just give 'em a sign
(Chorus)
We all have dreams that no one believes in
Make me feel bad, I'll knock your teeth in
We all have dreams, real big dreams, big as* dreams
Don't be sleeping 'cause you won't see who you could be
