Do you hear those distant voices   And sounds through the flames   The deafening drone of these clanking machines   In the lights it's the same   We're trying to free the sculpture from the stone   We'll take the rhythm from the throne if the radio is dying   Listen to me won't you listen to me      I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in a midnight sun   I don't want to know if the system crashes   I don't want to go if it's just begun   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in the midnight sun, in the midnight sun      I scream like a madman in the morning   No one heard a thing   I had hoped for a more effective warning   No one felt the sting   Someone's savior never saved take it away   Till there's nothing left to say   The radio is dying listen to me won't you listen to me      I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in a midnight sun   I don't want to know if the system crashes   I don't want to go if it's just begun   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in the midnight sun, in the midnight sun      Dancing like a child will we feel at all   Or just smile in another pretty prison   The wires frayed and broken free it's loud   As hell but I don't want to listen   Is existentialism so desperate condition   May seem painful but it won't last   I just march, march sometimes I get the last laugh      Machines and dreams to make the choices for you   Machines and dreams, I won't go out like that   Machines and dreams to make the choices for your   Machines and dreams, I won't go out      I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in a midnight sun   I don't want to know if the system crashes   I don't want to go if it's just begun   I don't want to lie in a bed of ashes   I don't want to burn in the midnight sun   I don't want to know if the system crashes   I don't want to go I don't want to go      I don't want to lie, I don't want to go   I don't want to lie, I don't want to go
