Lyrics Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man

Sleep Forever

As I finally meet my end

I won't be scared, I won't defend

The things I've done

I don't need him like you do

I don't fear him like you do

As the world revolves the sun

I hope the light that I become can

Sleep for once

I will leave it like you do

I won't lead it like you do

I won't leave it like they do

I don't need him like they do

I just want to sleep forever

Never see tomorrow

Or lead or follow

I don't want to work forever

Know what I know

Or beg or borrow

Just like our mothers

Who gave us our homes

We'll be just like our fathers

And go out on our own

'Cause we are the colors

In all that you see

We'll be just like our brothers

We'll take to the streets

Take to the streets

I just want to sleep forever

Never see tomorrow

Lead or follow

As my world it hides behind

The words only your wars define

They read a lot like news

But I fear it more than you

I fear it more than you

I just want to sleep forever

Never see tomorrow

Or lead or follow

I don't want to work forever

Know what I know

Or beg or borrow

Just like old lovers

Who never leave home

We'll forget the city

And forget the roads

'Cause we are all rebels

Never do what we're told

We may not grow money

But man we grow old

Man we grow old

I just want to sleep forever

Never see tomorrow

Or lead or follow

I don't want to work forever

Know what I know

Or beg or borrow

Just like our mothers

Who gave us our homes

We'll be just like our fathers

And go out on our own

'Cause we are the colors

In all that you see

We'll be just like our brothers

And take to the streets

'Cause we are all children

Yeah, we are all man

It may not be much

But we do what we can

Don't need no preacher

To make us believe

That everything's perfectly

Fucked up like me
