Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Who am I to disagree?
I 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.

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Who am I to disagree?
I Travel The World
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.

(MUSIC)

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
Who am I to disagree?
I Travel The World
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.

The lyric "Who am I to disagree?" reminds us that even though we all have our individual aspirations, they are equally valid and meaningful.

As the song progresses, we are reminded that everyone is different and has their own motivations for pursuing their dreams.
