Lyrics

[Intro]

Say hey!

Cha

[Verse 1]

Hear the sound of the falling rain

Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)

The shame, the ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling 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 pounding 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 (Hey!)

[Bridge]

Three, four

"The representative from California has the floor"

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, setting fire

Is not a way that's meant for me

Just 'cause (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Just 'cause (Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)

Because we're outlaws, yeah

[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
