I Don’t Want to Be Awake Songtext
von Pat Travers

Oh God, it′s morning again, ow

I've sold my soul for rock and roll
That devil′s got it living down in his hole
Still, it seems that nothing goes right
I can't sleep at night

I ain't gettin′ enough
Enough of that sleepy stuff
I wish they′d just get off my case, for Christ's sake

I don′t wanna be awake
Don't wanna be awake
Does anybody got a Valium?

I′m in a coma, still, they're pounding my brain
Won′t stop until they've driven me insane
The rat race seems to start and stop at my door
What's it all for?


I hope I′m sleeping when it′s nuclear time
I understand that they won't give us a sign
It′s so much bullshit, all this fortune and fame
After all, what's in a name?

I ain′t gettin' enough, enough of that sleepy stuff
I wish they′d just get off my case, for Christ's sake

I don't wanna be awake
Don′t wanna feel no pain
I′d be crazy if I played that game, oh
Thank God for rock and roll

I don't wanna be awake
Don′t wanna be awake
Just stick an intravenous needle in my arm, and I'll be okay

I don′t wanna be awake
Oh, who would?
Did you watch the television lately?
Check out the president
Woo, ooh

Sleep in a nice big warm bed, yeah
I've got demons livin′ inside my head
Gremlins with pickaxes chopping my mind into little tiny pieces
