My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep, no My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep In my dreams, I weep for the world It seems as if Hell has unfurled and I don't know why so many won't rise up While the rest of us, the rest of us are like what the fuck? It's time to stand up, let our voices sound We'll rise above your wall, we won't back down (My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep, no My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep) I'll delete you and your baseless memes as you succumb to this regime It makes me sick, I want to scream I hope you hear, we hope you hear our desperate plea It's time to stand up, let our voices sound We'll rise above your wall, we won't back down (x2) (My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep, no My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep) (x2) solos It's time to stand up, let our voices sound We'll rise above your wall, we won't back down It's time to stand up let our voices sound (My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep, no My heart it beats so loud I can't sleep) (x2)

Mar-a-Lago 02:54
There's a place I go When the world weighs on my shoulders and I'm feeling low A place where I can be Myself and avoid responsibility But I don't go alone The secret service knows how to make me feel at home It's got a large price tag But 1600 Penn is too much of a drag Vacation time for me A new Versailles in West Palm Beach Weekend cost of 3,000 G Vacation time for me There's just one thing to do When the house of cards you built falls down on you Pack your bags and leave Take a trip around the world just wait and see Dictators queens and monarchs Etiquette will never stop us Chancellors are taking notice Isolationist new POTUS Vacation time for me A new Versailles in West Palm Beach Weekend cost 3,000 G Vacation time for me How did it get to this point? Only walk away a weekend and they're burning down the joint Have yourself a seat Classified discussions within view of table three Get a load of this I promise I won't let my business dealings interfere with politics Vacation time for me A new Versailles in West Palm Beach Weekend cost 3,000 G Vacation time for me

Hey I think I’m brave I am not shy Hey I think I’m brave but that’s a lie Hey might not be brave but I still try You can see it coming from the start I’m dealing with a broken, callous heart It could be mine it could be yours, I guess We speak all day, but never talk To this we never confess Hey I think you’re way too beautiful Hey look at me and I will act the fool Hey who’s acting? This is nothing new You can see it coming from the start I’m dealing with a broken, callous heart It could be mine it could be yours, I guess We speak all day, but never talk To this we never confess I think I’m brave, but this is tough You know I never say enough We speak all day, but never talk We work all day, we will not stop We get no rest

I’m having trouble tryin’ to sleep I’m counting sheep but running out As time ticks by, still I try No room for crosstops in my mind On my own, here we go Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing light against the sky Giving up I close my eyes My mind is set in overdrive My eyes are bulging out my skull A crooked spine, my senses dulled Past the point of delirium Oh my own, here we go Sitting cross-legg’d on the floor Twenty-five or six to four Yeah Feeling like I ought to sleep (I’m having trouble trying to sleep) Spinning room is sinking dink (I’m counting sheep but running out) Searching for something to say (As time ticks by, still I try) Waiting for the break of day (No room for crosstops in my mind) (On my own, here we go)

What I Need 02:19
Here I am, I'm lookin’ like a broken man I've fallen way behind I'm on my face, I'm losing at this human race I've already lost my mind What I need is some kinda change in the scenery, Get away from me I cannot deal with your memory All my lovin don't amount to nothin’ when I'm beggin’ baby please Cure my ills, I've taken way too many pills It's much too hot for September Forget my name, I will not last long anyway It's not like you to remember... What I need is some kind of change in the walls I see Get away from me I will not heal from your sweet disease All my suffrin’ don't amount to nothin’ when I'm beggin’ baby please, I say my love ain't near enough I said my love ain't near enough What I need is some kinda change in the scenery, Get away from me I cannot deal with your memory All my lovin don't amount to nothin’ when I'm beggin’ baby please, I said my love, ain't near enough
