Asleep Lyrics

But how do kings and presidents, prime ministers and generals, and company chairmen sleep at night?
How do they shut their eyes when they turn out the lights?
Turn out the lights for the people theyre shitting on
Turn out the lights for the people theyre torturing
Turn out the lights for the people theyre poisoning
Turn out the lights for the people theyre starving
Turn out the lights for the people theyve murdered
They got two big secrets one up each sleeve, first they believe that theyre doing gods work, and thats the lie that they can lie down with, cause its seconded by the people they govern. cause the people they govern will work for them, buy from them, and die for them
And the people they govern will vote for them
And the people they govern do their sleeping for them

But how do kings and presidents, prime ministers and generals, and company chairmen sleep at night?
How do they shut their eyes when they turn out the lights?
Turn out the lights for the people theyre shitting on
Turn out the lights for the people theyre torturing
Turn out the lights for the people theyre poisoning
Turn out the lights for the people theyre starving
Turn out the lights for the people theyve murdered
They got two big secrets one up each sleeve, first they believe that theyre doing gods work, and thats the lie that they can lie down with, cause its seconded by the people they govern. cause the people they govern will work for them, buy from them, and die for them
And the people they govern will vote for them
And the people they govern do their sleeping for them
Do their sleeping for them, do their sleeping for them
Meanwhile ronnie is on first name terms with god, or so he sees it in his head. too many motion pictures when he was younger, and hes round at gods place for a meal.
God preparest a table before ronnie
In the presence of ronnies enemies
God annointest ronnies head with oil
Ronnies cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy, shall follow ron
An psalm is an anagram of napalms
Wake up, we must wake up!
We must wake up!
We must wake up!
We must wake up!
