| Four sins past sainthood,
It's like I'm dying to forget
All the sleepless nights,
Lying perfectly alone and still.
I can drink 'till victory,
I'll drink to the mighty,
Drink until I die,
Or at least until the sunrise
When honesty,
As popular as a plague,
Comes to remind me
The dead's winning the race
With me going nowhere.
Right down the street,
A prostitute is selling
The closest thing to love
That this country has to offer,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
So we fought for the republic
While the Catholic sun filled every eye.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,
We drank to the mighty.
We died for oil,
We died for borders,
Killed for democracy,
Still believed every platform.
Can you handle the death,
Accept what we create together?
I still know every politician
Is a fucking monster.
Culture kills bureaucrats
And all other undesireables.
History said we died for freedom,
But today no justice was served,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow.
So we boasted that we were champions,
Each country singing it's own praise.
Like a rock thrown into the ocean,
Humanity was rising to the top.
Two world wars later,
Countless "military interventions",
We erect monuments to history
And give apologies to the dead.
All that was fought for the living
Is quickly forgotten.
We don't remember the dates,
We don't remember the reasons.
We have no idea what's going on,
Building histories of western corporations.
It doesn't even turn my stomach
To see the pictures of atrocities anymore,
Going numb in the new order
Of the new century.
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And the world still sleeps tonight...
And Alachua still sleeps tonight...
And America still sleeps tonight...
And the world still sleeps tonight...
I love this song and it's absolute disgust of modern life. The build up to the second verse (and of the rest of the song after that point) is just passionate and angry... and badass |

| This is such an awesome song, and it takes an honest look at how America has become.

Haha, it's understandable. It's just a small (i think) county in Florida. I had to look it up too |

| And now for today's trivia lesson: .. by e-mommy
The county of Alachua is pronounced AL (like a man's name) - ACHOO (like a sneeze) - AH (like a sigh)
Al achoo ah - with the emphasis on the Achoo
Just north of Gainesville is the City of Alachua - spelled the same, but pronounced with the emphasis on the last letter - a strong A sound
Alechoo A
The name is believed to be derived from an indian word for sinkhole, because of the large number of springs and ground depressions in the area
The end
