A nightmare ends the night
Her beauty sleep, lost in fright
She dreamt the world was ending
But nobody seemed to mind
Her children raised and bred
To feel so free, to feel so blessed
While the nations, neighbors, children
Dreamed of dreams American
And it feels like paradise
Far away from home
And it seems like brighter sky
Where the birds sing happy songs
Another man gone mad
Was it the gun, or uncle sam
And a the countless soulless people
Get a shot and we just pray
Tomorrow's war today
With bigger guns
Missiles for days
You won't get to hear the sirens
You won't get to hideaway
And it feels like paradise
Far away from home
And it seems like brighter sky
Where the birds sing happy songs
Never again
Never again
Not ever ever no
Not ever ever no
Paradise
Paradise
