We never opened up
And we lost our trust
We never had enough
Learning to adjust
We never quite arose
To our own defeat
This is what we chose
Yelling in our sleep
They got away
They got away
They got away
Can't you believe it?
We never had a rule
For the world in space
We're seeing everything
What a human race
We're gonna lose the ground
From below our feet
We'll tell them what we found
Yelling in our sleep
They got away
They got away
They got away
Can't you believe it?
We never told the truth
In the fear of death
It was in our youth
That we held our breath
We're always just behind
Our own conceit
Spending all our time
Yelling in our sleep
They got away
They got away
They got away
Can't you believe it?
