No Sleep Tonight Lyrics

And I'm thinking what's the deal
With the facts that they conceal
But I'm thinking what's the harm
With a bit of rhetoric and charm

But I can't quite comprehend
A beginning or an end
No I can't quite stomach this

You and me we're gonna take
To the skies for common sake
We'll fly amongst the cirrus clouds
20,000 feet we'll clock the crowds
And from that height we'll leak the lies
And unveil our damaged skies
'cause we can't quite stomach this

Look, all I'm trying to say is
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight

The sun and the sea could power us
No-longer cower in oil lust
Chernobyl is still a stain
Of the dangers of this game
I still can't quite comprehend
A beginning or an end
No I can't quite stomach this


Look, all I'm trying to say is
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight


We'll embark on our great voyage to the sun
And we'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?


Look, all I'm trying to say is
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight


We embark on our great voyage to the sun
We'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone
Just like the ocean we won't be pacific anymore
No longer in coexistence with other species, this is flawed


You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight
You're not getting any sleep tonight

Just made a couple of minor corrections, not sure about that last bit though.

And I'm thinking what's the deal? With the facts that they conceal And I'm thinking what's the harm? in a bit of RHETORIC AND charm And I can't quite comprehend a beginning or an end No I can't quite STOMACH this now

You and me we're gonna take to the skies for common sake We'll fly amongst the CIRRUS clouds TWENTY THOUSAND FEET WE'LL PLUCK THE CROWDS And from that height we'll leak the lies and unveal the damages skies 'Cause we can't quite STOMACH this

(All I'm trying to say is) You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep) You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep tonight)

The sun and sea could power us No longer cower in our own (glass?) CHENOBYL IS STILL A STAIN OF THE DANGERS OF THIS GAME I still can't quite comprehend A beginning or an end No I can't quite STOMACH this

(All I'm trying to say is) You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep) You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep tonight)

(All I'm trying to say is) You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep) You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep tonight)

BUT WE'LL WALK ON A GREAT _ TO THE SUN (?) And we'll be 90 million miles from anything or anyone Just like the OCEAN we won’t be PACIFIC ANYMORE ____ SPECIES, THIS IS FLAWED

You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep) You're not getting any sleep tonight (getting any sleep, getting any sleep tonight

it's basically about how scientists are paid to lie about climate change etc for the benefit of short term profit companies, and how they can sleep at night knowing what they're doing. amazing song :)

Probably my favourite track from Common Dreads. Can't for the life of me figure out what the lyrics are getting at though.

Cover art for No Sleep Tonight lyrics by Enter Shikari

himynameisvic, I guess that suggestion makes sense to be honest.

Would never have worked that out otherwise!
