Woke Up Screaming

D.O.A.

I don't really care 
what they say 
I don't really care 
what they do 
I just know I'm sick of this crowd 
and of you 

The cops they took me and beat me blue 
it wasn't what I was or what I do 
it was just being alive on my own side 
I took a chance on the other side 
got off this downhill slide 
stopped wastin' my time 
why don't you? 

Had a dream saw a scheme 
saw a man hang on a beam 
next thing was, I woke up screaming! 
I wasn't dreaming 
it wasn't what I was or what I do 
it wasn't anything to do with you 
it was just, just, being alive. 
took a chance on the other side 
got off this downhill slide 
stopped wastin' my time. Why don't you?
