I wake up and my bed is nice and warm And I hold my favorite pillow in my arm I listen to the birds, they say it's nice that you're listening to us But unfortunately there's this voice in my head That says, let's get you a real job You've got a hole in your stomach And every now and then you want to buy something You have to get up now, go out Brush your teeth, take off a cream Go to the newspaper, get up, go on Do you hear the voice that says, use the day But I don't want to, I'd rather lie here Lie here forever, a love of peace My gift to the world When I get up, I have a temperament I let that out on every person I know And man, I'll do you all a huge favor if I stay here There are so many prisoners in the world Lately someone ran away without a head start I've never heard that someone suddenly fell dead lying down In contrast to getting up, going out Brush your teeth, take off a cream Go to the newspaper, get up, go on Do you hear the voice that says, use the day But I don't want to, I'd rather lie here Lie here forever, a love of peace My gift to the world Lie here forever, a love of peace My gift to the world Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And when the world goes before the dogs today And no stone is left on the other It can't be mine, because I've been left lying Because I don't want to, I'd rather lie here Lie here forever, a love of peace My gift to the world I'd rather lie here Lie here forever, a love of peace
