Verse Heard the story of the world last night Where the kids don't read, and the kids don't write Where the girls don't sing, and the boys don't fight and no one believes anything Shut my eyes and I took myself there Threw off my shoes, felt the wind in my hair Put down my drink, and pulled up a chair Felt the sun go down on me Pre Chorus We're drinking holy water Sleep with your sons and daughters Dancing the english way And it won't be the same Ahhhhh, No rest for the wicked (Yeah Yeah Yeah) No peace for the crooked Yeah Yeah Yeah Nothing left for me
