    Lyrics
    Hear the sound of the falling rain,
    Coming down like and Armageddon flame,
    The shame,
    The ones who died without a name,
    Hear the dogs howling out of key,
    To a hymn called "Faith and Misery",
    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,
    To find the money's on the other side,
    Can I get another Amen?
    There's a flag wrapped around the score of men,
    A gag,
    A plastic bag on a monument

    The representative from California has the floor

    Zieg Heil to the president gas man,
    Bombs away is your punishment,
    Pulverize the Eiffel towers,
    Who criticize your government,
    Bang, Bang goes the broken glass,
    Kill all the fags that don't agree,
    Trials by fire setting fire,
    Is not a way that's meant for me,
    Just cause,
    Just cause 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
