How much joy can a man find
in a quiet secluded enclosure?
Don't let size by deceiving...

I'd be happy if I never left this room.
It's a hypothetical shelter
until the nuke is dropped
and we'll go down in flames.
The end of this dying nation won't begin with me.

Shut down all the power and ignore the media.
The newspaper brings worse news every day.

Shut down all the power and ignore the media.
I can't stand to watch the news of these dying troops.

Wasted money and wasted lives; get us out of war.
I can't stand to watch this dying anymore.
Wasted money and wasted lives; get us out of war.
Living under tyrants is no way to live.
Wasted money and wasted lives; get us out of war.
Once it's 2009, we'll rejoice.
Wasted money and wasted lives; get us out of war.
Democracy is lost... Let's bring it back ourselves.

Wasted money, wasted lives.
We've gone to hell in a handbasket overnight.
I never dreamt of 1984 and the truths it held.
