Lyrics
Asleep At The Wheel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first duty of man
Is to collect as many things as he can
Nothing should stand in his way
This should be his sole pursuit
Time-wasting is a crime
And history is just a noise
For God is void
Falling asleep at the wheel
Falling asleep at the wheel
Who'll stand up and fight
An enemy we cannot touch?
For it's somewhere in the air
And just by breathing you're taking part
Time-wasting's my crime
And history must have a use
For God's not void
Who'll stand up and fight
An enemy we cannot touch?
Can I ask why?
Falling asleep at the wheel
