Ship with plastic gold

Can you imagine a chord without notes
A car without engine, a faith without hope
Then, don't expect me
To give up a lifelong dream
Just 'cause you don't think much of it
And I just seem to chase a
Ship with plastic gold

You can't imagine, have no idea
I don't expect you to come with me
But, don't expect me
To give up a lifelong dream
Just 'cause you don't think much of it
And I just seem to chase a
Ship with plastic gold.

All that made me stronger
Just failed to get me killed
All the people with their prejudice
So hard to cope with, still
All and all it gives me strength
It keeps me going on
Until I decide myself to quit
No sooner I'll be gone

Please understand that I don't mean no harm
I'm not that angry, not fully armed
It's just that I won't listen
If you try to stop me
If you try to keep from what I see as mine
You've got to let me
Chase my ship with gold

All that made me stronger
Just failed to get me killed
All the people with their prejudice
So hard to cope with, still
All and all it gives me strength
It keeps me going on
Until I decide myself to quit
No sooner I'll be gone
It's something you'll appreciate more when it's gone

Can you imagine
