lyrics

is this the simple life?
that you used to live
way back when
had to be around just to understand
that nothing comes easy
nothing comes easy

you can surround yourself
in soldiers like me
they fight your wars
for eternity
they wont take no
wont take no
for an answer
for an answer
for an answer

i'm sleepless in my dreams
standing on a hill
moving through the fast light
telling me the dreams not real
telling me it'll be alright

is this the way it has to be?
is there any other way?
sometimes i try to imagine
and its so hard to see
that nothing comes easy
nothing comes easy

gotta be a soldier when you're surrounded
gotta be a soldier when you're on your own

i'm sleepless in my dreams
standing on a hill
moving through the fast light
telling me the dreams not real
telling me it'll be alright
