I know a place 
 Where the wounded go
 For cold souls unaware 
 With no self control
 I know a place 
 Where the broken and wounded go 

 You just sit back and listen
 And just do what you're told
 Never knowing how things 
 Could have been as you grow old
 This is your time and it's wearing thin
 Don't let this happen again and again 

 You can catch me in a storm 
 Of thoughts and prayers
 Sleep away your American nightmare

 I won't lie with you in your grave

 Sleep away your American nightmare

 Sleep, it. Sleep it away, 
 Your American nightmare

 You just sit back and listen
 And just do what you're told
 Never knowing how things 
 Could have been as you grow old 
 This is your time and its wearing thin
 Don't let this happen again and again

 I may be wounded 
 I don't need to be saved
 And though I'm wounded 
 I don't need to be saved

 I won't lie, I won't lie,
 With you in your grave

 So put your fist in the air 
 To the sound of the new beat
