Album: Wake
Stay down, don’t get up. Someone out there might open fire
Some little liar, who’s shouting that it’s all clear
So just crawl around, safe and sound. There will never be enough protection
You’ve gotta hold tight, keep it all. These walls are much too small for all
this
You’ve gotta keep a tight fist. You’ve gotta take it from here
Until something behind you finally reminds you there will never be enough money
Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right
The more you have, the more you need and there’s no end in sight
The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light
But the more you have, the more you need and you’re blinded by and by,
all you buy and buy
And you’re never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again
You’ve gotta take some God, pray to drugs
Sex and cigarettes, new cars and cocaine
All these dials for turning down your pain
But you still feel something chewing at your brain
Rolling over reason, turning wrong into right
The more you have, the more you need and there’s no end in sight
The world used to be blinding, bathed in shimmering light
But the more you have, the more you need
And you’re blinded by and by, all you buy and buy
And you’re never gonna see the world, never gonna see the world the same again
It’s the same again. It’s never enough
