Lyrics for Sleep Now In the Fire
Yeah! The world is my expense The cost of my desire Jesus blessed me with its future And I protect it with fire So raise your fists and march around Just don't take what you need I'll jail and bury those committed And smother the rest in greed Crawl with me into tomorrow Or I'll drag you to your grave I'm deep inside your children They'll betray you in my name Hey! Hey! Sleep now in the fire Hey! Hey! Sleep now in the fire The lie is my expense The scope of my desire The party blessed me with its future And I protect it with fire I am the Ni帽a, the Pinta, the Santa Maria The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer The agents of orange, the priests of Hiroshima The cost of my desire - sleep now in the fire Hey! Hey! Sleep now in the fire Hey! Hey! Sleep now in the fire For it's the end of history It's caged and frozen still There is no other pill to take So swallow the one that makes you ill The Ni帽a, the Pinta, the Santa Maria The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer The agents of orange, the priests of Hiroshima The cost of my desire - to sleep now in the fire Yeah! Sleep now in the fire Sleep now in the fire Sleep now in the fire Sleep now in the fire
