Wintersleep | Beneficiary (Live)

Lyrics 👇

Excellent vid and a great song!

P.S. - please come to Utah, or at least Colorado!


Lyrics:

All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day




go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide


All of my life,
I turned a blind eye


I don't know why
I turned a blind eye
All of this time


I really can't say why


I don't know why
I'm a history of violence


All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide


All of my mind,
I don't know where to find it
I don't know why
I'm a creature of habit
I'm a past and future
I'm a war never ending
But I la la la,
I'm an ocean of carnage
All my days I wake up open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
Every day I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide
All my days I wake up, open my eyes
Beneficiary of a genocide
Drive to work all day
go to sleep at night
Beneficiary of a genocide.

Sounds great, guys. Can’t wait for the record to come out. Super exciting

Love this so much! 😍😍

I'm in love with this hook. Anxiously awaiting more!

Awesome song. Can’t wait for the new album fellas!

Great Song !!

Such a great tune!

Great stuff!
Looking forward to seeing you in London!!

Big tune terrible name hard to find and hard to share. Should of called it the benifit. Good tune trying to help

Deep meaning as well

CHEERS from Germany to Stellarton NS :)

Saw them on CP24 this morning. Didnt hear of them. They seemed to be plugging this song.. hey it's better than I could do... 👍👍

Love it! from New Zealand all the way to Thunder Bay, Ontario

whoas..who's on the guitar?.......tell her to make for me a red flanneled shirt......are you going to scar let affair...you are healed

Only 5000 views? I've watched this at least 100 times. Who else?

A bit self-righteous / self-indulgent, really.

Great song touches everyone's heart that is awake and alive to what is happening everyday.

I am turning 28 and I've been kind of depressed because my friends and family can't really celebrate with me this year. I had no plans but heard you guys were coming to my hometown in London, Ontario on my birthday (March 21)!! Thanks so much for saving my birthday <3

Hope to see you guys soon back in Germany. Feels good to hear of you!

did an overdose on that song yesterday, man what a mess

Love the lyrics and it’s so good and catchy

Wow !! another breath taking song by Wintersleep. The hook grabs you and takes you to a place only Wintersleep can find

Astounding is a good word to describe this. One of the best songs of the year.

Sounds great, but the lyrics are crap. What on earth genocide are they referring to? Idiots!

The lyrics borrow from Australian writer Peter Carey, who in an interview last year asserted, “You wake up in the morning and you are the beneficiary of a genocide.”

One of the things that I most love about Wintersleep is that they stay constant. This isn't to say that they haven't evolved over the years - it's just that they're still pure Wintersleep. Quality tunes, always. In this regard I'd put them in the same category as Petty & The Heartbreakers. Love you guys.

I love lyrics that make me feel. For better or worse.

Good voices to country music ;)

Great rocker! :-)

This band...has always been there for me. Thank you thank you thank you!

Awesome song. Met the band out here in Alberta at a gig been listening to the're songs ever seen. Keep up the awesome work paul.

Remines me of my late brother 😊

Hey, Wintersleep! have you donated any of the proceeds of this song to anti-genocide or indigenous peoples organizations or similar orgs? Or doing something else similar?

Haha it really be like that

Just discovered this song on cbc radio very nice song guys.

The lyrics are haunting. So very true.

Ah! Depuis le temps que vous suit, écoute de Montréal !

Greetings from Los Angeles! Come play for us!

Cheer~~~a person who derives advantage from something, especially a trust, will, or life insurance policy.(all rhythm accompaniment...good)😊
