Holiday (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, Japan, 3/19/05) Lyrics

This song is not anti-American
It's anti-war

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (Hey)
To find the money's on the other side, brothers and sisters
Can I get another amen? (Amen)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey)
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey)

The representative from California now has the floor
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fires
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Just 'cause (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Because we're outlaws, yeah

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
Tokyo!
