Sleep, What’s That? Lyrics by Crimpshrine

The Sound of a New World Being Born

1988

In a country where I can decide
Will I be jailed, or will I abide?
By these laws that I do not quite believe apply
With all this freedom, I have no voice
With all this freedom, I have no choice
All this freedom I can't find
Only for one kind
And every day seems so important
And every day seems so necessary
Try and take my life, my freedom away
Always dreaming about what I can't be
If this country's so free
Then why am I arrested for trying to sleep?
I know a place that's free
But why must it entail poverty?
In a country where I can decide
Will I be jailed, or will I abide?
By these laws that I do not quite believe apply
With all this freedom, I have no voice
With all this freedom, I have no choice
All this freedom I can't find
Only for one, only for one kind
So much food to eat
So many homes to sleep in
Stores so full of food
So why must I eat from a garbage bin?
Sixteen hundred people walking 'round today
Thinking life's a little game to play
Try to avoid police abduction
Try to avoid hunger and self-destruction
Maybe if you could realize
All your freedom is based on lies
Maybe there's no lifestyle I wanna keep
Just get some sleep
