Goals and Dreams will drive you
They'll make you a success
Get you all the things you want
But they're all wrapped up in stress
He went to Harvard and wore Hugo Boss
Had him a great job that he wore just like a Cross
But he always looked worn and tired from just running in place
Had a vague sense of longing that he wore on his face
There was always that next rung that he had to reach
There was always that lesson that he had to teach
Goals are a just a pretty trap to drive you to extremes
Your apt to lose so much of life when your living in your dreams
Take a walk along the beach, have dinner with a friend
Do all the things that matter when you look back at the end
She went to Wellesley and wore Yves Saint Laurent
Had all the trappings one woman could want
But the Big Picture Puzzle that she worked in her mind
Had small missing pieces she just couldn't find
Spied an acending staircase that led to the top
That teased her then vanished so she couldn't stop
Goals are a just a pretty trap to drive you to extremes
Your apt to lose so much of life when your living in your dreams
Take a walk along the beach, have dinner with a friend
Do all the things that matter when you look back at the end
Goals and Dreams will drive you
They'll make you a success
Get you all the things you want
But they're all wrapped up in stress
Do you really want that stress?
Do you really want that stress?
