It is not sweet dreams by the eurythmics.
It has more of a alternative rock beat to it.
These are the correct lyrics to it.

That's such a great song. It's:
Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - 1983

Lyrics for you:
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
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?
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

I wanna use you and abuse you
I wanna know what's inside you
(Whispering) Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Movin' on!

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
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

I'm gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside
Gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside you
*****************************************

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is a song recorded by Eurythmics from their album of the same name (Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)). After several commercial single flops, "Sweet Dreams" became a mainstream breakthrough for Eurythmics members David A. Stewart and Annie Lennox. Its striking music video helped to propel the song to number two in the UK singles chart and to number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. It was the fourth single released from the Sweet Dreams album in the UK and the first single released by Eurythmics in the United States.

The song is a heavily-synthesized pop tune based around a computerized bassline that Stewart discovered accidentally in the studio when he played a bass track in reverse. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" is arguably Eurythmics' signature song and it is their only chart-topper in the U.S. (Eurythmics would not top the chart in their native UK until 1985 with "There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)"). Following its success, their previous single "Love Is a Stranger" was re-released and became a worldwide hit as well. Rolling Stone ranked it number 356 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and it is the group's only song on the list.

In 1991 the song was remixed and reissued to promote Eurythmics' Greatest Hits package. It recharted in the UK, reaching number forty-six. It was also a moderate hit in dance clubs. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" has been covered by many artists, most notably Marilyn Manson in 1995. Their version, from the Smells Like Children EP, also became an MTV-staple and helped to establish the band in the mainstream.

The music video for "Sweet Dreams" received heavy airplay on the then-young MTV channel and is widely considered a classic clip from the early-MTV era. Lennox's striking androgynous visual image, with shaved, orange-colored hair, men's suit and cane and detatched yet soulful vocal delivery immediately made her a household name. Her gender-bending image would be further explored in other Eurythmics videos such as "Who's That Girl?" and "Love Is a Stranger".
