"Leanin On My Dream" lyrics

I was walkin' to the corner drugstore
When what should I happen to see?
There were picket lines and the people were shoutin'
"Down with democracy"
As I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said
"Buddy, where do you stand"?
I said, "I stand wherever I choose my friend
And you best let go of my hand"
As I walked away on that sunny day
I swear I heard him scream
"You know you're leanin' on my dream
Hey man, you're leanin on my dream"

Got home and turned on the TV set
And sat me down to eat
And a man came on talkin' 'bout the coppers
They was blockin' off another street
Seems some folks was raisin' cain, Lord in vain
And a, a riot had broke out
And they flashed the camera on the guy who had stopped me
I watched him runnin' about
As the cops were draggin' him away
I heard one of 'em scream
"You know you're leanin' on my dream
These kids are leanin' on my dream"
Oh yeah, hmm, yeah
Hey, git it, git it, git it

Well, I got up and turned off the TV set
And I tell you I was feelin' mean
And I thought a while tryin' to make some sense
Out of everything that I had seen
I was addin' the score when there's a knock on the door
Was a letter addressed to me
It read, "Greetings from the President, United States"
I fell down on my knees
The next day I was on the picket line
And Lord you should have heard me scream
"You know you're leanin' on my dream
Hey man, you're leanin' on my dream"

Oh, you know you're leanin' on my dream
Oh, leanin' on my dream
Leanin', leanin', yeah
Oh, on my dream
Hey, git it, git it
