The structure is thus:
(plus extra E A for any extra "dream on"s)
Thugs and bad men, punks and lifers
Locked up interns, pigs and snitches
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won't be strip-searched, torn up tonight
You won't be cut up, bleeding tonight
You won't be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
Wishing you were anywhere else but right here
So dream on (dream on)
Thieves and muggers, tricks and hustlers
Cheats and traitors, scum and low-lifes
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won't be sad or broken tonight
You won't be squealed on, ripped off tonight
You won't be back-stabbed, double crossed, face down
Teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere
So dream on
So dream on
Freaks and junkies, fakes and phonies
Drunks and cowards, manic preachers
Rest your weary heads, all is well
You won't be pushed or messed with tonight
You won't be lied to, ruffed up tonight
You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
Aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on, so dream on
You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
Aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on
