I've been working in these here fields
It's like it's something real
Like it's got something to do with me

Looking out on a wasted life
With a wasted wife
Who will have nothing to do with me

But I wear a dream hat now
One that's made of silk and lace
I wear a dream hat now
The only way to leave this place

I wear a dream hat now
And give up on the human race
I wear a dream hat now
So I don't have to see your face

I have suffered a million fools
In factories and schools
And in my little trailer home

I have suffered a million fools
In rags and in jewels
I just want to be left alone
But I wear a dream hat now
One that's made of silk and lace
I wear a dream hat now
The only way to leave this place

I wear a dream hat now
And give up on the human race
I wear a dream hat now
So I don't have to see your face
