Intro

Say, hey, cha

Verse 1

Hear the sound of the fallin' rain

Comin' down like an Armageddon flame (Hey)

The shame, the ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howlin' out of key

To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey)

And bleed, the company lost the war today

Chorus

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

Verse 2

Hear the drum poundin' out of time

Another protester has crossed the line (Hey)

To find the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen)

There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey)

A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

Chorus

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

Post-Chorus

(Hey)

Guitar Solo
Interlude

(Three, four)

The representative from California has the floor

Bridge

Sieg Heil to the President Gasman

Bombs away is your punishment

Pulverize the Eiffel Towers

Who criticize your government

Bang-bang goes the broken glass, and

Kill all the fags that don't agree

Trials by fire, settin' fire

Is not a way that's meant for me

Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Chorus

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday
