Sleep Aw Man Lyrics

I lie awake at night

Think about everything under the sun

I'm turning over and over again

How things should've been done

Got to escape away from this place

I close my eyes I got room to run

I 'm pushed around the job all day

Keeps running thru my head

How long , how long, how long

Will I sleep alone in my bed

Gonna quit smoking pot

Smoke hash instead

I'm singing this song for all you people

Tumbling beneath the sheets

Your drinking warm milk and praying to God

And those of you counting sheep

Do you believe that falling in love

It's easier than falling asleep

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There're people around me

Saying I'm going insane

They don't understand

These clouds inside my brain

Not too sure whether I'm comin or goin

Not too sure where I been

All I know is that I ain't been growing

Since I can remember when

Oh what a mess

No one cared less

The candle burned

And the world turned

Now the wax swallows the flame

So bring on the night

Let's get on with the fight

Man's only satisfaction

Is in his destruction

Let the poor grow hungrier, skinnier and angrier

Bring out who's to blame

The people that control the game

Don't rhyme man with understand

You'll only wind up in a fan

Or a junkie bobbing his head up and down

Aw man Aw man Aw Man

Aw man Aw man Aw Man

Aw man Aw man Aw Man

Will this song be put to sleep

In the midst of all this weeping

Will there be a generation to understand

Or comprehend what went down in this world

That we live in

A relentlessly angry world

Changing in a never-ending swirl

From the heights of its glory

To the depths of its misery

The sword is passed from hand to hand

The sword is passed Hand to hand

From child to man, from man to child

The whole word is going wild
