The Keepers Lyrics

Lyric discussion by foliage 

Cover art for The Keepers lyrics by Santigold

Ask me why a dream gets you by But let it want, turns a dangerous thing

I really thought this was "ask me why, the Dream gets you by/But lady, want is a dangerous thing". As in, "the [American] Dream is not enough to keep you out of desperation."
