Lyrics: (Not entirely correct)
 
Say! Hey!
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon plague (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who die without a name
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
There's a song sounding out of key
To a hymn called faith and misery (Hey!)
A plead, 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 3]
 
There's a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
The line, the money's on the homicide
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Can I get another Amen?  (Amen!)
There's a rag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
[Bridge]
 
 
[Interlude]
 
The representative from California has the floor:
Speak out to the president gasbag
"Bombs away!" is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
You got a choice so don't repent
"Bang Bang!" goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trial by fires, sinners, buyers
I found a way that's meant for me
Check out... check out our lives on holiday
 
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
