How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates?   Seemingly selfishless sentiments hiding his war paint   How many nights have you laid awake fearing the next crusade?   Did you sleep well last night, what will it take?      The clock on the wall, it sees everything   And I worry 'bout it 'cause   Tick, tick, ticking on, it's just ticking away      And I wake and I wanna say   That I'm done with the sleeping and all is fine   And I wake and I'm standing here   If it's not a dream then I can't believe I'm awake      I see a place where the houses are all just exactly alike   All of the cars are one color and there's only one type   Each has the same dog and same cat and the same fucking tank of fish   Dinner's the same time and all the same dish      The clock on the wall, it sees everything   And I worry 'bout it 'cause   Tick, tick, ticking on, it's just ticking away      And I wake and I wanna say   That I'm done with the sleeping and all is fine   And I wake and I'm standing here   Waiting for the day when we open our eyes      And I wake and it seems to me   That's it's all or it's nothing, are we so blind?   And I say hey, it's time to say, this is not a dream   And I can't believe that I'm awake, that I'm awake      How many times have you taken advice from a man who hates?   Did you sleep well last night, what will it take?      And I wake and I wanna say   That I'm done with the sleeping and all is fine   And I wake and I'm standing here   Waiting for the day that we open our eyes      And I wake and it seems to me   That's it's all or it's nothing, are we so blind?   And I say hey, it's time to say and I can't believe   That we're standing here with our hands on our eyes   And ears hoping it goes away      This is not a dream   This is not a dream   This is not a dream
