(Every time i open my eyes)
I want all the sadness to go away
I want all the harlots to take the stage
Wake up every morning not feeling the same
Like a different person occupying the frame
How flesh ties together bones of men
And the press plies the lever and the crown descends
While the worker swings his hammer dropping to his knees
Praying for the doctor to kill the disease
Why can't I wake up in a better place
Why can't I wake up and not be afraid
Why cant i wake up and take the stage
Take the fortress and cure the plague
Oh holy roller wont you let me be
Oh holy roller wont let us be free
Oh holy roller wont you let me be
Oh holy roller wont let us be free
I wake up every day and want to build a bridge
Cut down the commute and help the people live
Why you want to tax the toll and the gas
And the future and the present is protection from the past
Last time you look at me you say
Oh boy oh boy you know you gonna pay
And pay and pay and pay and pay
And pay if you want to play
Why can't I wake up in a better place
Why can't I wake up and not be afraid
Why cant i wake up and take the stage
Take the fortress and cure the plague
Oh holy roller wont you let me be
Oh holy roller wont let us be free
Oh holy roller wont you let me be
Oh holy roller wont let us be free
Oh boy oh boy you know you gonna pay
And pay and pay and pay and pay
And pay if you want to play
