Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Lyrics

[Verse]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Chorus]
I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you

[Bridge]
Movin' on (Hold your head up)
Movin' on (Keep your head up)
Movin' on (Hold your head up)
Movin' on (Keep your head up)
Movin' on (Hold your head up)
Movin' on (Keep your head up)
Movin' on!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Outro]
I'm gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside
Gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside you

Q&A

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning

What is the song about?

Its about the vicious cycle of abuse. People who are pathologically abused almost enjoy it in a sense of self-worth (look up stockholm syndrome). People who abuse (obviously) enjoy preying on people who in a twisted sense are prime for abuse.

In short, the world is made up of “users, abusers, and the abused”
