Lyrics and translation
Original
Hey, hey! Yeah.
Hear the sound of the falling rain, coming down like an Armageddon flame.
Shame the ones who died without a name.
Hear the dogs howling out of key, to a hymn called faith and misery.
And bleed the company lost the war to damn.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday.
Hear the trump coming out of time.
Another protester has crossed the line, to find the money's on the other side.
Can I get another amen? There's a flag wrapped around a score of men.
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument.
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies.
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday.
Hey!
Hey, boy!
The representative from California has the floor.
Seig Heil to the resident gas man. Bomb the way is your punishment.
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers who criticize your government.
Bang, bang goes the broken crackhead. Kill all the fags that don't agree.
Trials by fire, cities friar, is that a way that's meant for me?
Just 'cause, just 'cause, because we're hell on earth.
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.
I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known.
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams.
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone.
I walk alone, I walk alone.
I walk alone and I walk a. . .
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me. 'Til then
I walk alone.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind.
On the borderline of the edge and where I walk alone.
Read between the lines, what's fucked up and everything's alright.
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive and I walk alone.
I walk alone, I walk alone.
I walk alone and I walk a. . . . . . beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me. Till then
I walk alone.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I walk alone, I walk alone!
I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams.
Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one, I walk a- My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
Till then I walk alone.
