Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
With all life has to offer

Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Since the second world war
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?

There’s a guy who’s been awake

I throw the sheets off and I freeze
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
So many pleasures all around
I countdown, I look around
(Hala hala hala)
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Another sleepless night’s begun
I swim in sweat three inches deep

But the pleasure of insomnia
So while she’s three hundred degrees
I count heartbeats
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?

Is one I’ve never found
Since the second world war
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Be happy with what you’re getting

Who needs sleep?
Since the second world war
The only thing that counts is
Since the second world war
(Tell me what’s that for)
(Tell me what’s that for)

Lids down, I count sheep
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Who needs sleep?
Are ones I can’t avoid
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Since the second world war
That I won’t sleep
Since the second world war
(Tell me what’s that for)
I countdown, I look around
Be happy with what you’re getting

I turned the lights off while she burned
Just lay back and claim defeat
Who needs sleep?
Lids down, I count sheep
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
I count heartbeats
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
That I won’t sleep
There’s a guy who’s been awake
There’s so much to be enjoyed
The only thing that counts is
(Tell me what’s that for)

Be happy with what you’re getting

(Well you’re never gonna get it)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
I count heartbeats

There’s a guy who’s been awake

Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
I countdown, I look around
Be happy with what you’re getting
My hands are locked up tight in fists
(Tell me what’s that for)
There’s a guy who’s been awake
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Chapter read and lesson learned
Who needs sleep?
Lids down, I count sheep
But the pleasures of insomnia

Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Be happy with what you’re getting
My mind is racing filled with lists

Be happy with what you’re getting
(Tell me what’s that for)
Of things to do and things I’ve done
So much joy in life
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Who needs sleep?
Since the second world war
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
The only thing that counts is
Be happy with what you’re getting
Be happy with what you’re getting
Since the second world war
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
That I won’t sleep
(Tell me what’s that for)
Since the second world war
