Lyrics: (Not entirely correct)

Say! Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)        (Verse 1)
The shame, the ones who die without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called faith and misery
And bleed, the company lost the war today        (Verse 2)


I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives        (Chorus)
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line     (Verse 3)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen?  (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)    (Verse 4)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

(Chorus)
(Bridge)

The representative from California has the floor:
Zeig Hail to the president gasman
"Bombs away!" is you punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
You critize your goverment            (Interlude)
"Bang Bang!" goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trial by fires, setting fires
Is not a way thats ment for me
Just cause, just cause because were outlaws, yah,

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
