No Lullaby

sleep, humanity, just sleep
'cause it's easy and it's cheap
dream of money and of fame
life is just a game

nod, humanity, just nod
go on go on keep playing god
destroy the world an break the rules
dream on, community of fools

rest, humanity, just rest
your way of living is the best
the world is dying, some guys gain
waste is growing just like pain

sleep, humanity, just sleep
the fly is high the fall is deep
dream on, high spirits are still in the air
but times are changing, 

be aware!
