Operation Ivy - Sleep Long lyrics
Sleep long sleep well
Only to awake in hell
Sleep long sleep well (sleep well)
Only to awake in hell
Today I saw a man asleep
In a doorway on the street
Walls of sheltered inhibition
I perceived his condition
Dying of hunger and exposure,
Food and shelter
Two blocks over
Within this place
We breed and dwell in
We've created living hell
Sleep long sleep well
Only to awake in hell (lets go)
Sleep long sleep well
Only to awake in hell
City sleeps and pigeons flutter
Vagrant dies in the gutter
Prideless death somehow befitting
To life spent working on forgetting
Riding on the bus I looked outside and thought about death
Passing cars the only tribute to his gasping final breath
Sleep long sleep well (sleep well)
Only to awake in hellOperation Ivy - Sleep Long - http://motolyrics.com/operation-ivy/sleep-long-lyrics.html
Sleep long sleep well (sleep well)
Only to awake in hell
(Then I went home to get my mind off things
I decided to watch television)
Constant subliminal brain immersion
Subconscious death wish coercion
Buy and consume and want and need
Never fall from the trap of greed
(listen up)
Sleep long, sleep light, sleep well
I thought about the bitter pain
Of jail cells and falling rain
I thought ahead and looked away
What can you do anyway
In sheltered youth
And our Pretension
Avert our eyes to divert attention
Only to see the avatars always there to remind us
Sleep long sleep well
Only to awake in hell
Sleep long sleep well
Only to awake in hell
Only to awaken in hell
