| While you were sleeping, they pushed upon your door
|
| While you were sleeping, they crept along your floor
|
| You counted sheep and fantasised
|
| This dreamless sleep would ever stop the cries
|
| Of a world that spins on selfishness and lies
|
| Such and awful sight, you close your eyes
|
| While you were sleeping they all passed through
|
| You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
|
| While you were sleeping, they rifled through your draws. |
| While you were
|
| sleeping it was no concern of yours
|
| In a world that spins on selfishness and lies
|
| Such an awful sight, you close your eyes
|
| While you were sleeping they all passed through
|
| You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
|
| Wake up!
|
| The dawn will come today
|
| You’ll be climbing out that bed to nothing
|
| Just because you turn away from everything
|
| Doesn’t mean to say it isn’t happening
|
| While you were sleeping they torched your home
|
| Tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered
|
| While you were sleeping they all left you
|
| Without a penny for services rendered
|
| They tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered
|
| They took your life away and nobody remembered
|
| Just because you turn away from everything
|
| Doesn’t mean to say it isn’t happening |
