Hard times exist when you can't get work, and the government allowance is inadequate for your needs. It steals self esteem, and cans dreams ... although ... you have to find the can opener to get the dreams out.

Lyrics

Can Of Dreams Songwriter: Kristine Best Written: 14 July 2021
VERSE 1
Getting some money. I'm on the dole. Putting that money in a pocket full of holes.
We're eating, food we stole. Desperate people losing their souls.
VERSE 2
Can't make it. Can't take it. What's gonna happen now?
No money. No way to earn it, and I am asking how?
CHORUS 1
How can we make ends meet? Nothing tallies on the balance sheet.
Can't afford a can of baked beans. I've had to can all of my dreams.
INSTRUMENTAL OVER VERSE
CHORUS 1
How can we make ends meet? Nothing tallies on the balance sheet.
Can't afford a can of baked beans. I've had to can all of my dreams.
VERSE 3
Can't face it. Can't erase it. Hope is now despair.
Lord God knows, nothing's fair. I rake my fingers through my hair.
CHORUS 1
How can we make ends meet? Nothing tallies on the balance sheet.
Can't afford a can of baked beans. I've had to can all of my dreams
CHORUS 2
Gonna try to make ends meet, and tally up the balance sheet.
Gotta try and find the means to realise all of my dreams.
Gotta try and find the means to realise all of my dreams.
