lyrics

You get up, oh alright, get yourself a cup of joe
You suit up, you head in, wonder what you’re fighting for

They’re gonna tell you ‘you’re not quite the type’
They’re gonna tell you ‘you ain’t qualified’
But they don’t know what you got deep inside
You’re a heartbreaker, dream-maker
And you don’t take no anymore

Headline says times are changing again
Back to, back to the way is was before
Thing is, great seems to mean, to mean something else
If you’re a woman, you’re black or if you’re poor

They’re gonna tell you ‘you’re not quite the type’
They’re gonna tell you ‘you ain’t qualified’
But they don’t know what you got deep inside

You’re a heartbreaker, dream-maker
And you don’t have to take that anymore

Go on and tell them that you got the right
Keep them nervous - put a fight
All you need you got deep inside
Cuz you’re a heartbreaker, a dream-maker
And you don’t have to take their shit anymore

You’re a heartbreaker, a dream-maker
You’re the star this world is waiting for
