The Movie In My Mind

They are not nice, they're mostly noise They swear like men, they screw like boys I know there's nothing in their hearts But every time I take one in my arms It starts: The movie in my mind The dream they leave behind A scene I can't erase And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place The movie plays and plays I'll find my true romance He takes me to a place Where I don't have to dance Our children laugh all day But all that I've been true Can't make my dream come true Dream The dream I long to find The movie in my mind I will not cry, I will not think I'll do my dance, I'll make them drink When I make love, it won't be me And if they hurt me, I'll just close my eyes And see (they are not nice, they're mostly noise) The movie in my mind (they kill like men, they die like boys) The dream that fills my head (they give their cash, they keep their hearts) A man who will not kill (but every night again it starts) He'll fight for me instead He'll keep the fear at bay So no one comes at night To blow the dream away Dream The dream I have to find The movie in my mind And in a strong GI's embrace Flee this life Flee this place A world that's far away Where life is not unkind The movie in my mind
