4 o'clock in the morning,
Still we cannot sleep
Turning over
Turning round
Twisting in our sweat
They say there is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear god - what have we done?
There is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear god - what is this evil that we've done??
There is no rest for the wicked ones
Dear god - what is this evil that we've done??
Is it that we wanted more than you gave
Why did you put us then
In this smalltown grave
Humility - is that what you want?
Why did you make us then the way you did??
Yes, we have pride
Yes, we have pride -
Is this our sin?
Is this our sin?!
4 o'clock...
Is it the times that we've been out fighting ?
Well i'll tell you all those times -
We never really hurt anybody
Or is it that we were eating
While other people were starving
Is this our crime ?
Is this our crime ??!
4 o'clock...
Is it the times we laughed about it all
Through all those whisky nights so far away
Yes, we have betrayed you
Yes, we have betrayed you -
Is this our crime ?
Is this our crime ?!
4 o'clock...
