lyrics

My head in the clouds : I seem to have found
I breath in and out to heal my soul
Kentucky coal : It comes from a smokestack In the distance
The girls and the boys : From south Illinois
Are drinking the water : have no choice
We're given a voice : but we stick to this poison
In the instance
It's so odd : Stitch me up I try hard : So wake me up
I try hard to seem happy even though I know I'm not
October was hot : and August was not
A lesson is taught but is not heard
But what we have learned : is that the money they've earned : it burns the nighttime
They're telling us lies : and try to disguise
By using your god to stuff their face
A beautiful place now : is going to waste and
they don't mind
It's so odd : Stitch me up I try hard : Wake me up
I try to hard to seem happy even though I know I'm not
It's so hard to seem happy when this world never stops
I try : it never stops
It's so odd : Stitch me up I try hard : Wake me up
It's so hard to seem happy even though I know I'm not
I try hard to be happy when this world will never stop
It's so hard to seem happy even though I know I'm not
