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
