I have one thing to say…
It’s about damn time.

The following lyrics are very.. angry(or political?), if that’s the corect word(s) to use. I like this song alot, and it’s by A Perfect Circle. From their album eMotive.

Don’t fret precious I’m here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don’t give a fuck about you, like I do.

Count the bodies like sheep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Count the bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go to sleep [14x]
Go back to sleep [3x]

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Go back to sleep [2x]

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums [x2]

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 a voice of reason
I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They’re one in the same, I must isolate you…
Isolate and save you from yourself …
