Woke up this morning, going back to bed Alarm clock ringing in tune with my head The booze I abuse to leave my boredom I don't do drugs 'cos I cannot them The Pye TV is my TV 'Cos the council bailiffs are after me And when it's on it's pictures on me I'm numb to the war in a distant country
I'm only sleeping I'm only sleeping Oh yeah now!
So I cover myself beneath my quilt My power's run down and so is my guilt At times like this I'm at a loss Drifting in dreams of Ocho Rios The cat crosses my face, I remember the fact The DSS is on my back I used to care a lot Now the world spins before me
These days consist of sleep and daytime TV So whaaaa?
I'm only sleeping I'm only sleeping Oh yeah now! I'm only sleeping So whaaaa?
Uh wrap it, uh wrap it up Eh, eh
Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream-a, mi-ni me a dream after you
So whaaaa?
Yeeee-aaaah!
So whaaaa? So whaaaa-aaaaa-aaaa?
I'm only sleeping Oh yeah now! I'm only sleeping Don't wake me, don't wake me I'm only sleeping Don't call me, don't wake me I'm only sleeping Oh yeah now!
Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me dream Me a dream-a, me a dream-a, me a dream after you Mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream, mi-ni me a dream after you
Dream pon a Monday Ah dream pon a Tuesday Dream pon a Wednesday Ah dream pon a Thursday Dream pon a Friday Dream pon a Saturday Some ah da people wen me look at dem dream pon a Sunday!
I'm only sleeping Don't wake me, don't shake me I'm only sleeping Don't wake me, don't wake me I'm only sleeping I'm only dreaming....

Chorus
/....................... we are one Let's get together and sing this song/
What if they controlled you What if they erased your mind I bet you one thing You wouldn't know, you wouldn't know at all
Sometimes I feel There's something on my mind wasting time I really don't know But I've gotta find the way
If it's a chance you want Would you stop and think about somebody else I really don't think so I really don't think I really don't think you would think about
What if they could see you You're just a face amongst the crowd Hiding around so you can't be found You wouldn't know
What if they could love you What if they had a chance About a lonesome thing You wouldn't know
What if they could love you What if they had a chance I bet you one thing You wouldn't know, you wouldn't know
What if they could buy you How much more to change your mind And still ............... It's just rock'n'roll to me It's just one of those things, one of those things
Babylon release the chain .................... the pain
Out of my mind I get happy I get bitter I can even miss a city I get broken I get mended I can sometimes get offended I get comfort I get violent Now and then i ... I get halved And i get double Frequently i get in trouble But this one thing that i found I can't get you out of my mind I can't get you out of my mind I get angry I get fitter Can't believe i've missed the city I get soaken Then get dried up It's not time to clean my line up I get homely I get distant I'm so lonely 'cos i missed you With these feelings i'm revealing What it is that i am feeling But this one thing that i found I can't get you out of my mind I can't get you out of my mind

Chorus: Will I ever live to get out of here? (x4)
No to surrender, it's not in me agenda You know I'm not a gangster, no I'm not a robber Will me take 'cos .......................... I would be a prisoner In prison I will suffer, they'd also call me nigger
............................. everyone will get fixed Sometimes you can't stop a bullet with a bulletproof But I'm no ............, I'm no culprit, I'm no ............, I'm no .......... Open me window, gone shot past me neck I wish I was .............. Then I wouldn't have to worry, I wouldn't have to ............ Remember in life what a life you ......... get One stop, come again
