Four sins past sainthood, it's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights lying perfectly alone and still
I can drink 'til victory, I'll drink to the mighty
Drink until I die or at least until the sunrise
When honesty as popular as a plague
Comes to remind me that the dead's winning the race with me. Going nowhere
Right down the street a prostitute is selling the closest thing to love that this country has to offer
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight

So we fought for the republic while a catholic sun filled every eye
From the atlantic to the pacific ocean, victory, I drank to the mighty
We died for oil, died for borders, killed for democracy, still believed every platform
Can You handle the death, accept what you create together
I still know every politician is a fucking monster
Culture kills bureaucrats and all other undesirables
History said we died for freedom but today no justice was served
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow

So we boasted that we were champions
Each country singing it's own praise
Like a rock thrown in to the ocean, humanity was rising to the top
Two world wars later, countless "military interventions" we erect monuments to history and give apologies to the dead
All that was fought for the living is quickly forgotten
We don't remember the dates, we don't remember the reasons
We have no idea what's going on. Building histories of western corporations
It doesn't even turn my stomach to see the pictures of atrocities anymore
Going numb in the new order of the new century
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
And Alachua still sleeps tonight
And America still sleeps tonight
And the world still sleeps tonight
