Woke up in a west that's wild, nWoke up in a sanctioned wayside.nWoke up, psychos screaming, some loiter head dreamnDescending.nLeft it up to chance, left it up in the air.nPlayed it by year and played down both ends of the line.nI will not let the world pass by, nI woke up in the west, Greenwich time.nBared the glare of cold war trash, put it on the table, nStained the course leaking, work-a-day degradation.nWith the ballot box open, the flowing information, nThe temperature warming, and all the cloning andnNonchalance.nI will not let the world pass by, nI woke up in the west, Greenwich time.
