lyrics

Thoughts and prayers won't save you
When the wolf is at your door
They'll take the clothes from off your back
And ship you with the poor

Blind men cry "The end is nigh"
Amidst the restless horde
But Dead can't hear that siren's call
Waiting in their graves for more

Sittin pretty in your bed
While I'm lost within my head
Comfy in the bed you make
wide asleep and dead awake

Those wide awake, their numbers few
dread this coming day
what can be done, day is won
Rich will have their way

Wars been fought, that battle lost
Day has come undone
What's left for us to do but
pick our own shit up and run

Sittin pretty in your bed
While I'm lost within my head
Comfy in the bed you make
wide asleep and dead awake
Sittin pretty in your bed
I'm still lost within my head
Comfy in the bed you make
wide asleep and dead awake

Wishing that this life was more
Pick yourself from off the floor
Wipe the dust from off your brain
This is a life we can't sustain

Put the paper down its old
But the truth is far from told
The storybooks have all been read
Take the blinders off your head

Sittin pretty in your bed
While I'm lost within my head
Comfy in the bed you make
wide asleep and dead awake
Sittin pretty in your bed
I'm still lost within my head
Comfy in the bed you make
You're fast asleep we're wide awake
