Doom and Gloom
The Rolling Stones Lyrics

I had a dream last night
Last night I had a dream

That I was piloting a plane
I was flying an aircraft in my dream

And all the passengers were drunk and insane
The passengers in my dream were intoxicated and crazy

I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp
In my dream, I landed the plane in a Louisiana swamp after crashing

Shot up a horde of zombies
I fired at many zombies

But I come out on top
However, I emerged victorious

What's it all about?
What is the meaning of it all?

Guess it just reflects my mood
I suppose it mirrors my emotional state

Sitting in the dirt
I am seated on the ground

Feeling kind of hurt
I am experiencing some pain

When all I hear is doom and gloom
I hear nothing except negative news and events

And all is darkness in my room
My room is entirely dark

Through the light your face I see
Despite the darkness, I can see your face through a beam of light

Baby take a chance
Take a risk, my dear

Baby won't you dance with me
Dance with me, my love

Lost all that treasure in an overseas war
We lost all the valuable items in an international conflict

It just goes to show you, don't get what you paid for
This demonstrates that you may not receive what you paid for

Battle to the rich and you worry about the poor
You fight for the rich and concern yourself with the plight of the poor

Put my feet up on the couch
I rested my feet on the sofa

And lock all the doors
I securely closed all the doors

What's that funky noise
What is that peculiar sound?

Guess that's the tightening of the screws
It's probably the sound of the screws getting tightened

All I hear is doom and gloom
I hear only despair and pessimism

But when those drums go boom boom boom
But when the drums sound loud and heavy

Yeah
Yes

Fracking deep for oil
Drilling deep into the earth for oil

But there's nothing in the sump
However, there isn't anything in the sump

There's kids all picking
Children are picking

Ar the garbage dumb
Garbage repositories

I'm running out of water
I'm running low on water

So I better prime the pump
Therefore, I should prepare the pump for use

I'm trying to stay sober
I'm attempting to remain unimpaired

But I end up drunk
But I still become intoxicated

We'll be eating dirt
We'll be destitute

Living on the side of the road
Living on the road's edge

There's some food for thought
This is something to contemplate

Kinda makes your head explode
It's mind-boggling

Baby take your chance
Take a risk, my dear

Won't you dance with me
Dance with me

Oh yeah
Oh yes

I'm feeling kind of hurt
I'm somewhat in pain

Baby won't you dance with me
Please dance with me, my love

I'm sitting in the dirt
I'm on the ground
