Lyrics

Bilingual
I've been dreaming of
Sex, drugs, and violent retribution
Sound and noise pollution
If they've got revolution
I'm not seeking a solution, I'm just
Trying to get something done
Songs about friends and times they were few
Songs about the future and, of course
A line or two
For each of you and I
I miss dying
Puffing up, bored, and flying
And if you stay sane, both feet on the floor
Why were you always kicking up dust for?
I don't wanna work no more
No, I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so
Hope we live on through postcodes
'Cause only God knows where this'll go
And I'll always seek
People who will not arrest me
And girls that I barely know
I've been looking up
Not at much, but it's enough
It's hope and homelessness
Home and me, hopeless in the wind
Flying from the coast, reminders to make the most
Of every chance we get
Dance with ghosts of our forebears
He wrapped his hands around my neck
All I could see was the unconscious world
And neither makes me all that eager
'Cause it won't be too long till my body is gone
I don't wanna work no more
No, I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I don't wanna work no more
No, I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
Hope we live on through postcodes
'Cause only God knows where this'll go
And I'll always seek
People who will not arrest me
And girls that I barely know
And when men get older, they laugh less
Even dogs wag their tails when they're close to death
But I'm going down with my hands by my side
Eyes open wide, puppy dog smile
And we're not all that fast, what we lack in speed
We make up in complete disregard for sleep
I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud of me
I'm gonna make you so proud
Of me, yeah
Hope we live on through postcodes
'Cause only God knows where this'll go
And I'll always seek
People who will not arrest me
And girls that I barely know
Hope we live on through postcodes
'Cause only God knows where this'll go
And I'll always seek
People who will not arrest me
And girls, girls that I barely know
