Is this a Real Song

Had a dream last night where three people from high school, with whom I was not very close, were actually good friends in some Hogwartsian college, living in a suite made out of giant, ornate bookshelves in some cavernous dorm.  We were trying to kill these rather dangerous cat-monster-vermin things by shooting lightning bolts through cracks in the floor.

The reason I mention this is because there was a song playing in the dream that was unmistakably the Cranberries (or at least, lead singer Dolores O'Roidan) and the bit that I caught was something like this.

*blah blah blah*
We're the lucky ones
We go out and the kids go home (alternately, "we go out with our friends along"  or "we go out with the kids along")

Does this come from a real song?  Is this a mondegreen of a real song?  Or was this some unholy combintation of "Salvation" and that song from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack (not by the Cranberries, but someone else "Lucky Ones" or "We are the Lucky Ones").  In either case, it was chipper and it sounded like them.  Unfortunately, that melody is disintegrating in my head, and you tube is not turning up anything easily, and I will be damned if I am going to listen to the whole discography in search of a song that my brain might have meat-glued together.

I have a bit of a vendetta against the Cranberries thanks to an argument with a former lover (my relationships that lasted more than a month, of which there have been six have alternated between Bad Music Relationships and Good Music Relationships - all the odd numbered ones were bad and all the even numbered ones were good) who argued their music circa No Need to Argue (which does have a killer last three songs, admittedly) was more varied and experimental than Siouxsie and the Banshees.  Not "I like them better," (misguided, but acceptable) but "more different and musically interesting sound in two albums" (demonstrably wrong).
