Against Me! - Y'all Don’t Wanna Step to Dis lyrics
[Against Me! - Y'all Don’t Wanna Step to Dis lyrics]
Four sins past sainthood
It's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights lying
Perfectly alone and still
I can drink 'till victory
I'll drink to the mighty
Drink until I die or at
Least until the sunrise
When honesty, as popular as a plague
Comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race
With me going nowhere
Right down the street a prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love that
This country has to offer
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
So we fought for the republic
While the Catholic sun filled every eye
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
Victory, I'll drink to the mighty
We died for oil, we died for borders
Killed for democracy
Still believed every platform
Can you handle the death
Accept what we create together?
I still know every politician
Is a fucking monster
Culture kills bureaucrats
And all other undesirables
History said we died for freedom
But today no justice was served
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow
So we boasted that we were champions
Each country singing it's own praise
Like a rock thrown into the ocean
Humanity was rising to the top
Two world wars later
Countless military interventions
We erect monuments to history
And give apologies to the dead
All that was fought for the
Living is quickly forgotten
We don't remember the dates
We don't remember the reasons
We have no idea what's going on
Building histories of western corporations
It doesn't even turn my stomach
To see the pictures of atrocities anymore
Going numb in the new order
Of the new century
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
It's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights lying
Perfectly alone and still
I can drink 'till victory
I'll drink to the mighty
Drink until I die or at
Least until the sunrise
When honesty, as popular as a plague
Comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race
With me going nowhere
Right down the street a prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love that
This country has to offer
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
So we fought for the republic
While the Catholic sun filled every eye
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
Victory, I'll drink to the mighty
We died for oil, we died for borders
Killed for democracy
Still believed every platform
Can you handle the death
Accept what we create together?
I still know every politician
Is a fucking monster
Culture kills bureaucrats
And all other undesirables
History said we died for freedom
But today no justice was served
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow

And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
