Why am I still up, it's so bloody late
I can't fall asleep and I hate being awake
The anger and hoplessness flows through my veins
And I don't think I can come out of the rain
The wheels inside are refusing to slow
I can't make it stop and I think I may blow
All hope that I've had's dissipating with age
And I don't think I can pull out of this rage
Don't like living in, this world full of shit
I hope that someday I won't have to wish...
Well I wish I was blind so that I couldn't see
This world full of hate, greed and misery
Well I wish I was deaf so that I couldn't hear
All the horrible crying of children who fear
And I wish I was numb so that I couldn't feel
But most of all I wish...The world would get real!
I try to recall the way I once was
I can't seem to dig it out from all the dust
The past is just that and it's too hard to find
And I don't think I like the taste in my mind
I stare out at life and I hate what I see
I can't keep pretending it's not happening
Our world is being raped, her people being slayed
And I don't think we realize we're being played
Don't like living in, this world full of shit
I hope that someday I won't have to wish...
Well I wish I was blind so that I couldn't see
This world full of hate, greed and misery
Well I wish I was deaf so that I couldn't hear
All the horrible crying of children who fear
And I wish I was numb so that I couldn't feel
But most of all I wish...The world would get real!
