Lyrics
Go To Sleep
(Intro)
I. Turned off th' news... today.
Loaded my gun. Point it at th' mirror of my soul.
What am I gonna do?
Can't get away.
As this crazy world comes apart... unglued.
(Turnaround)
II. Must wear a mask... they say.
Follow th' rules. Don't ask silly questions, just obey.
It's for your safety too.
Don't dare ignore.
Stand on blue lines and we'll be fine... it's true. It's true. It's true.
(Chorus)
Preachin' on th' tube 24-7. Believe what you want to believe. (Do you believe?)
Doom and gloom. Goin' to my room. I'm going' to sleep.
As I count, as I count, as I count th' sheep, they turn into people!
Baa, baa. (They turn into people?)
Baa, baa, shut up, little sheeple!
Go to sleep. Go to sleep.
(Turnaround)
III. Not workin' for... my pay.
Checked online. They said it would come just any day.
Don't have to worry now. (Don't worry now.)
It's party time.
And they promised us everything... we're due.
(Turnaround)
IV. Jump on th' train... or stay.
It's your choice. We'll find out who was right or wrong.
I'm on that boxcar South. (Boxcar South.)
I love th' sun.
I won't need my gun. Oh, my son... we're screwed.
(Chorus)
Preachin' on th' tube 24-7. Believe what you want to believe. (Do you believe?)
Doom and gloom. Goin' to my room. I'm goin' to sleep.
As I count, as I count, as I count th' sheep, they turn into people!
Baa, baa. (They turn into people?)
Baa, baa. Shut up, little sheeple!
Go to sleep. Go to sleep.
(Turnaround)
(Tag) Together. Apart. Together. Apart. Together. Apart. Don't worry, little sheeple. Together. Apart. It's th' new normal. Together. Apart. It's alright. Together. Apart. It's alright. Together. Apart. It's alright. (Laugh) Together. Apart. It's alright. Go to sleep.
