Lullaby |
[I don’t have to tell you things |
are bad, everybody knows things are bad |
It’s a depression |
Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their jobs |
A dollar buys a nickels worth, banks are going bust |
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter |
Punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody |
anywhere seems to know what to do and there’s no end to it |
We know, the air is not fit to breathe, our food is not fit to eat |
We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that |
today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent |
crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be |
We know things are bad, worse than bad |
They’re crazy, it’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we |
don’t go out anymore. |
We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting |
smaller and all we say is please please leave us alone in our living |
rooms, let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel |
coated radio, and I won’t say anything just leave us alone |
Well I’m not going to leave you alone, I want you to get mad |
I want you to progress [?? |
] and I don’t want you to run and I don’t want to tell you to tell |
you to write to your Congressman |
because I don’t know what to tell you to write |
I don’t know what to do about the depression or the inflation or the |
Russians or the crime in the street. |
All I know is that first you got to get mad, |
you’ve got to say it I’m a human being goddammit! |
And my life has value] |
I got friends in high places and limited time |
I got a long list of women who pay me in kind |
I got different reasons for wasting my mind |
I don’t need nothing when I wanna get high |
But I gotta keep rolling just to get by |
I got different voices inside my head |
I got plenty of demons under my bed |
But I don’t get scared cos I’m already dead |
And I’m walking round looking like I’ve never been fed |
I tell a million stories with no words said |
Sing me to sleep, sing me a love song |
Sing me a lullaby, days gone by |
Sing me to sleep, sing me a love song |
Sing me a lullaby, days gone by |
Sell my soul to the devil just to get paid |
I’m taking one last breath as reality fades |
Wasting time on the streets where heroes are made |
Now I’m hanging round your place trying to get laid |
I got different methods for wasting my day |
Yeah I’m turning twenty-nine at the end of the year |
Yeah I wonder if they’ll find me in the blood and the gear |
I’m in a little bit of trouble cos I got no fear |
It’s like I’m crying out loud but nobody can hear |
I got plenty good reasons for hiding my tears |
Sing me to sleep, sing me a love song |
Sing me a lullaby, days gone by |
Sing me to sleep, ah sing me a love song |
Sing me a lullaby, days gone by |
