Mother says Look out below There's a madman And a liar Take the gun Out of his hand Cause he's playing With fire Wake me awake Am I dreaming? Cause no one here will say Exactly who's to blame For breaking the backbone Of reason You throw it all away These children want to play too rough Enough To raise the bluff To an anthill With a finger And roll the bones With creaks and groans Of a gambler On a bender Wake me awake Am I dreaming? Cause no one here will say Exactly who's to blame For breaking the Backbone Of reason You throw it all away These children want to play too rough Wake me awake Am I dreaming?
