Asleep At The Wheel Lyrics by The Cinematics

A Strange Education

0

The first duty of man
Is to collect as many things as he can
Nothing should stand in his way
This should be his sole pursuit
Time-wasting is a crime
And history is just a noise
For God is void

Falling asleep at the wheel
Falling asleep at the wheel

Who'll stand up and fight
An enemy we cannot touch?
For it's somewhere in the air
And just by breathing you're taking part

Time-wasting's my crime
And history must have a use
For God's not void

Who'll stand up and fight
An enemy we cannot touch?

Can I ask why?

Falling asleep at the wheel
