The Rusty Trombones Lyrics
Sleep When You're Dead Lyrics
i haven�t slept in years and i don�t need the rest
there�ll be time for that shit when the graveyard�s my address
they tell me close my eyes and dream the life i want instead
but i�m too busy living, i�ll sleep when i�m dead
i won�t walk your straight line, no i don�t want your life
i don�t want your politics, your war or your fucking lies
looking at me with scorn, i can see it in your eyes
but i won�t walk your straight line, no i don�t want you life
might trip on your straight line and stumble over the edge
but this is where I want to be the other side of your picket fence
broken principals and wills i�ve seen it all before
but i�ve got my eyes wide open man and they�re looking for a little more
sleep when you�re dead
billions of sleepwalkers and they�re all joining the ranks
desire what they�ve taught to want and that�s the problem man, no thanks
because it�s not about what you want i fucking know what i need
and i�ll fight to live my own life until i run out of speed
sleep when you�re dead
