I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes. Pray for the injustice of war, Pray for all the battles you lost, Pray for all the blood that's been shed, And pray to kill this dream in your head. Wake up! I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes. Pray for the injustice of war, Pray for all the battles you lost, Pray for all the blood that's been shed, And pray to kill this dream in your head. Scream for the ideals you betrayed, Scream for all the friends that you failed, Scream for all the crimes that you dream, And scream for every soul that you killed. Wake up! I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes. I live my nightmare, I dream my life Afraid to stay awake, too scared to close my eyes.

We're all sheep, we're all fucking sheep. We fall in line, fall into place We keep our mouth shut and keep the pace We keep our head down and stare to the floor We're here to witness our fall... We watch our town, watch it burning down We watch the greed in which we drown We watch our town burning to the ground We watch the future, it's right now... Driven by money blinded by faith We feel our lives slowly slipping away Gripped by fear of losing the little we've got Obey anything they say, we pray to our gods. We watch our town, watch it burning down We watch the greed in which we drown We watch our town burning to the ground We watch the future, it's right now… We keep our head down and stare to the floor We're here to witness our fall.

t doesn't matter if you ain't rich It doesn't matter if life's a bitch It doesn't matter if you have no friends It doesn't matter if your affair ends It doesn't matter if your job sucks It doesn't matter if you're getting fat It doesn't matter if you can't pay the bills It doesn't matter how old you feel. Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair We don't care about your luxury car We don't care if you date a star We don't care about your fancy dress We don't care if you are in the press We don't care about your fiancee We don't care if he's great in bed We don't care about your house so posh We don't care, no we don't care at all. Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanair Cos all you need is booze, NoWear, drugs and Ryanai

You're the wound that won't heal You're the breath I can't breathe You're the seed slowly sinking in me You're the one that I need.

I'm always talking with god We share the same mirror Dilated pupils, dilated egos. We're the bloodshot eyed clique 'cos sleep deprived is the new chic No future and Love under Will. We're terrified to go all the way Ashamed of the stupid things we say Always looking for more trust to betray. Most deprived without a backstage pass Hooked on youth that cannot last Banging our heads to the pulse of the drum. Remember it ain't cool to be in love 'cos all we want are tortured souls Forget everything you knew before Your conscience empty like a bullet hole.
