When the world is sick
can't no one be well,
But I dreamt we was all beautiful and strong

it's interesting how you interpret that second line as a question.

[disenchantedkid]

how do you interpret it otherwise without using bad grammar? and also the "But" makes it seem that way, otherwise what is the "but" disagreeing with?

well after i saw your post initially i had to check my quote on ezboard to see how i wrote it out, and i checked a lyrics page and they wrote it the same way as me.

so i understand it as this:
when the world is sick, can't no one be well.
but i dreamt we were so beautiful and strong.

in that the world IS sick and no one can be well, but he had a dream that they were so beautiful and strong despite reality.

hrm
i've always heard it as "Can" instead of "can't". their site conveniently has all they lyrics but that part.

[disenchantedkid]

bah, if you click the picture it goes to another that clearly says "can't"
