I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli Fighting for freedom, a better place to be I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me Wielding his ideas for others to see
There's a roof on my head And I'm well fed And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli For their dreams are far from ... I sing
Controlled by a man we've all known and seen before Killing on his doorstep as the blood runs down his doors Poisoning his people with words spun from the west He's giving them arms to fight while in his past head down he rests
There's a roof on my head And I'm well fed And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli For their dreams are far from ... I sing
The disaster's on the news as the battle rages on Limbs are pulled from the rubble and all I can do is look on Before I stop my day, before I'm back in ... I ask could we do more if we didn't ...
Well they're sending ships and planes and a no-fly zone is arranged As the government plays Risk once again And I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli Fighting for their freedom, a better place to be
There's a roof on my head And I'm well fed And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli For their dreams are far from ... I sing
There's a roof on my head And I'm well fed And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see So spare a thought should daily passes you by And the little things get you down Oh the little things pass you by And the little things feel like a thorn In your sight
I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli Fighting for freedom, a better place to be I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me Wielding his ideas I wonder if he'll live to see
