Four sins past sainthood, it's like I'm dying to forget,
|
all the sleepless nights lying perfectly alone and still.
|
I can drink 'til victory, I'll drink to the mighty,
|
drink until I die or at least until the sunrise.
|
When honesty as popular as a plague
|
comes to remind me that the dead's winning the race with me. going nowhere,
|
Right down the street a prostitute is selling the closest thing to love that this country has to offer.
|
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
|
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
|
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
|
|
so we fought for the republic while a catholic sun filled every eye.
|
From the atlantic to the pacific ocean,victory, I drank to the mighty.
|
We died for oil, died for borders, killed for democracy, still believed every platform.
|
Can You handle the death, accept what you create together.
|
I still know every politician is a fucking monster.
|
Culture kills bureaucrats and all other undesirables.
|
History said we died for freedom but today no justice was served.
|
And America still sleeps tonight
|
And America still sleeps tonight
|
And America still sleeps tonight
|
and i hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow
|
|
so we boasted that we were champions,
|
each country singing it's own praise.
|
Like a rock thrown in to the ocean, humanity was rising to the top.
|
Two world wars later, countless "military interventions" we erect monuments to history and give apologies to the dead.
|
All that was fought for the living is quickly forgotten.
|
We don't remember the dates, we don't remember the reasons.
|
We have no idea what's going on. Building histories of western corporations.
|
It doesn't even turn my stomach to see the pictures of atrocities anymore.
|
Going numb in the new order of the new century.
|
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
|
And America still sleeps tonight
|
And the world still sleeps tonight.
|
|
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
|
And America still sleeps tonight
|
And the world still sleeps tonight.
