Passing streets

Where kids don't cry

And their fathers lie

And mothers just carry on

With their bodies on other men



There's a war

Right inside us

Maybe next door

But we just carry on tryin' to save another world



Pre-chorus:

What's it gonna be (x3)

For you and me

(repeat)



Chorus:

Wake me when it's over

Cos I don't want it anymore

Wake me when it's over

Cos I don't wanna use it anymore



So tell me

Where are they going?

A place called "missing"?

Maybe I need to sing for her over there

And maybe

If the people up there

And the people stop talking

Their eyes could see what I could see

And things could change



(pre-chorus & chorus)
