Don’t fret precious, I’m here Step away from the window And go, back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind what other voices say, they don’t care about you like I do Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils See, they don’t give a fuck about you, like I do Just stay with me, safe and ignorant, go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Lay your head down child, I won’t let the boogie men come Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums Pay no mind to the rabble, pay no mind to the rabble Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons I’ll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and voice of reason I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices, son One and the same I must isolate you, isolate and save you from yourself
Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and Count bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums The boogie men are coming, the boogie men are coming Keep your head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums
Stay with me, safe and ignorant, just stay with me, Hold you and protect you from the other ones The evil ones, the lucky son
Go back to sleep….
This is a very powerful song--probably my favorite on the album.
