Chumbawamba - 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 onTurn out the lights for the people theyre torturingTurn out the lights for the people theyre poisoningTurn out the lights for the people theyre starvingTurn out the lights for the people theyve murderedThey 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 themAnd the people they govern will vote for themAnd the people they govern do their sleeping for themDo their sleeping for them, do their sleeping for themMeanwhile 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 ronnieIn the presence of ronnies enemiesGod annointest ronnies head with oilRonnies cup runneth overSurely goodness and mercy, shall follow ronAn psalm is an anagram of napalmsWake up, we must wake up!We must wake up!We must wake up!We must wake up!
