R.E.M.
Her Majesty
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Soldier, soldier what's it's like To wake up every day and see the light The gas, your share, the burning smell in the air The vision with no tele there The glory, you saw, the uncut footage oh so raw Tell me how to break the law I'm floating in ecstasy In the middle of this rotting sea Wake me up Strip my skin Shake me from my R.E.M. I don't know what I've been told That if you stand in the fire you won't get cold I read the papers but they all lie About why all these people are needlessly dying The heat, the myth, the men in suits led adrift The pigs led to the slaughter The rain, you were, standing right on top of her Tell me how to be so sure I'm floating in ecstasy In the middle of this rotting sea Wake me up Strip my skin Shake me from my R.E.M. I don't know what I've been told That if you stand in the fire you won't get cold And I pretend to know What happens when the sun goes down And we pretend to show A narcissistic kind of sympathy I pretend to know What happens when the sun goes down And we pretend to show A narcissistic kind of sympathy Break these chains and let me be The dogs of war are after me It can't be bought it can't be sold If you stand in the fire you won't get cold
