Daniel Mclean says he's lost all his dreams   and he lost all his hair but he found an affair   that makes him feel alive when he cheats on his wife   because the man he was died from routine      oh God set me free from the dubious dreams   of the Daniel Mcleans and their lies      Daniel's bride can't do anything right   it's just not like it was when they first fell in love   so he justifies the adulterous nights   because he's not the one who has changed      oh God set me free from the dubious dreams   of the Daniel Mcleans and their lies   let me see the truth that what may not be new   has always been good and been right      it wasn't a moment he didn't decide   not to love her   but one day, more than he wanted his wife   he wanted others   he did not fight, did not shed his blood   did not give his life, he gave up on love      [chorus]
