Holiday Lyrics

Say hey

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (hey!)
A shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called faith and misery (hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line (hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

(Hey!)

(Three, four)
"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang, bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause
Just cause
Because we're outlaws, yeah

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

What is the Meaning of Holiday?

This punk rock anthem serves as a powerful commentary on the state of the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of societal issues, particularly war and political corruption. The falling rain symbolizes impending doom, while the reference to Armageddon flame suggests catastrophic warfare. The song's title, "Holiday," is ironic, contrasting starkly with its grim content. It's about standing up against hollow lies and propaganda, about not conforming to what society expects or demands. The line "This is the dawning of the rest of our lives" signifies a call to action for listeners to wake up and make changes in their lives and society. Despite its heavy themes, it maintains an upbeat tone, encouraging hope amidst despair.
