I was hungry when I said
I never got to sleep
You go ahead
You can get whatever you want

There's a feeling in my belly
It's the new tomorrow scene
It's an interesting job
It's the fireworks

I don't need it (I don't need it)
I hit my head (He hit his head)
I can't feel anything
You gave too much away
You came to say
It's a free world, baby
And you gave too much away
Hey, hey

Get whatever you want
Get whatever you want

Me, I'm tired of this candy
My teeth ache my head
Boys in bed, girls in bed
All now go to sleep
Sleep, sweet dreams
You wake to a new today tomorrow

I don't need it (I don't need it)
I hit my head (He hit his head)
I can't feel anything
You gave too much away
You came to say
It's a free world, baby
And you gave too much away
It's a free world, baby

Get whatever you want
Get whatever you want

Boys in bed, girls in bed
All now go to sleep
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow

I don't need it (I don't need it)
I hit my head (He hit his head)
I can't feel anything
You gave too much away
You came to say
It's a free world, baby
And you gave too much away
It's a free world, baby

It's a free world, baby

Boys in bed, girls in bed
All now go to sleep
Sleep, sweet dreams
Wake to a new today tomorrow
Sleep, sweet dreams
And wake to a new today tomorrow

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
