-----------------------------
I shouldn't have to sympathise but I do
I shouldn't have to take sides with you

Playing with fire the way that you do
I shouldn't have to burn along with you

Spoon fed ; street cred ; inbred ; easily led
Big bed ; eyes red ; sore head ; better off dead
No ties ; bloodshot eyes ; wrong size ; wait til he dies
Nice try ; I spy big lies in little eyes

A scratch on the surface gives us a clue
I shouldn't have to put faith in you

A friendly reminder cuts me in two
I shouldn't have to take control of you

Bomb shell ; cheap hotel ; unwell ; living hell
Hard sell ; kiss and tell ; man fell ; in a spell
No ties ; bloodshot eyes ; wrong size ; wait til he dies
Nice try ; I spy big lies in little eyes

A step round the corner shows what is new
A dangerous vision smothering truth
I shouldn't have to cut the cards with you

Swing

Awake (v09)

Don't start sleeping
Don't start sleeping

Stay awake through the night
Counting the hours ticking by
If I close my eyes now
I'll never see the light
The day will be done
In good time

Don't start sleeping
Don't start sleeping

And the years will pass me by
The solemn march of time
With the weight of the world
I never dared to try
Now the fountain of youth
Has run dry

Awake

Far beyond the lines
Safe side of the grave
We'll all be crucified
For laughing at the brave boys
