Sleep It off Songtext

von Falling Sickness

Dejected concrete jungles
That never seem to end
Through complex tower structures
Aimlessly they transcend
Over forgotten ghettos
They won't show on maps
Inequal distribution of wealth
Coincidenta lperhaps?
I tried to make my connection
In a world that shows no affection
America's busy sleeping
I saw divisions
In our undivided land
With power unforgiving
Fueled by greed it can't withstand
It's self-inflicted dreams of hope
Laughing in our faces
Getting fixed with it's own dope
Sponsored by class races
I tried to make my connection
In a world that shows no affection
America's busy sleeping
Sleep it off
Everything will go away
-sleep it off again-
Shop till you drop
And everything will be ok
-sleep it off again-
Party till you puke in your
Comfortable houses
-sleep it off again-
The streets are paved with the
Neglected thousands
-sleep it off again-
Looked into deperate eyes
Unfufilled abandoned lives
Heartless city after city
I witnessed our demise
Of a common man in a not so
Promising land
With very narrow means
To urgent human needs
