Say hey! Cha

Hear the sound of the falling rain / Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!) / The shame, the ones who died without a name / Hear the dogs howling out of key / To a hymn called “Faith and Misery” (Hey!) / And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies / This is the dawning of the rest of our lives / On holiday!

Hear the drum pounding out of time / Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!) / To find the money’s on the other side / Can I get another Amen? (Amen!) / There’s a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!) / A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies / This is the dawning of the rest of our lives / On holiday!

Three, four! / “The representative from California has the floor” / Sieg Heil to the president Gasman

Bombs away is your punishment / Pulverize the Eiffel towers / Who criticize your government / Bang bang goes the broken glass / And kill all the fags that don’t agree / Trials by fire, setting fire / Is not a way that’s meant for me / Just ’cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey) / Just ’cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey) / Because we’re outlaws, yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies / This is the dawning of the rest of our lives / I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies / This is the dawning of the rest of our lives / This is our lives on holiday
