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
