Anti-Lullaby

We are bouncin' and dancin'
As you sing your lullaby.
Shouting "Move" when you say "Stay."
The tune of your flute
Is a rifle you shoot,
That lays us all down to be prey.

They love you, we hate you.
They made you, we break you today...
Breaking away...

We are painting the walls,
Makin' jokes out of laws,
Hiding sleeping pills under our tongues.
Shut the light, close the door,
We spit them to the floor,
Then we're hummin' and strummin'
And bangin' on drums...

What did you know when you said
We are wasting away?
How could you say?

How could you say we just
Waste away, waste away?
Big table not big enough.
How could you say we just
Waste away, waste away?
Hummin' and a'strummin' and a'bangin',
Bangin' on drums...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

We will not be lulled into slumber by you,
We will not be lulled into sleep.
For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And its treasures we intend to keep.

We will not be lulled into slumber...
We will not be lulled into sleep.

For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And its treasures we intend to keep.

For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And its treasures we intend to keep.

So now when they say we just
Waste away, waste away,
You can say, "Hey, it's not so."
Why is it then, that we're
Growing, and growing, and growing, and growing,
And showing them all what we know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

We will not be lulled into slumber by you...
For we've had a taste of the wondrous place...

We will not be lulled into sleep!

For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And its treasures we intend to keep.

For we've had a taste of this wondrous place,
And its treasures we intend to keep.
