B5                                 G5
Four sins past sainthood, it's like I'm dying to forget,
    F#5
Our sleepless nights lying perfectly alone and still.
      B5                  F#5
I can drink 'til victory, I'll drink to the mighty,
G5
drink until I die or at least until the sunrise.
     D5                         A5
When honesty as popular as a plague
                       B5                           G5
comes to remind me the dead's winning the race with me. going nowhere,
      D5                               A5
Right down the street a prostitute is selling the closest thing to love 
B5                       G5
that this country has to offer. 
B5                         G5
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight,
And Alachua still sleeps tonight.

      B5
So we fought for the republic
          G5
While the Catholic sun filled every eye.
           F#5  
From the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, victory
                  B5
I'll drink to the mighty.
            G5
We died for oil,
            F#5
We died for borders, killed for democracy, still believed every platform.
    D5                                 A5
Can you handle the death, accept what you create together?
  B5                              G5
I still know every politician's a fucking monster.
D5
Culture kills bureaucrats
    A5
And all other undesireables.
        B5
History said we died for freedom ,
             G5
But today no justice was served,
B5                         G5
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
And America still sleeps tonight,
                                B5      G5  F#5
And I hope it doesn't wake up tomorrow.

      B5                   G5
So we boasted that we were champions,
             F#5
Each country singing it's own praise. Like a rock thrown into the ocean,
             B5                                 G5
Humanity was rising to the top.  Two world wars later,
                   F#5
Countless military interventions, we erect monuments to history
          D5
And give apologies to the dead.
             A5
All that was fought for the living
   B5
Is quickly forgotten.
           G5
We don't remember the dates,
           D5
We don't remember the reasons.
        A5
We have no idea what's going on,
         B5                        G5
Building histories of western corporations.
                D5
It doesn't even turn my stomach
                        A5
To see the pictures of atrocities anymore,
      B5                               G5
Going numb to the new order Of the new century.
B5                         G5
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.
