sleep long - mad caddies lyrics
sleep long, sleep well
only to awake in h-ll
one day i saw a man asleep
in a doorway on the street
through walls of sheltered inhibition
i perceived his condition
dying of hunger, and exposure
food and shelter, two blocks over
within this place we breed and dwell
we’ve created living h-ll
sleep long, sleep well
only to awake in h-ll
city sleeps and pigeons flutter
vagrant dies in the gutter
prideless death somehow befitting
to life spent working on forgetting
riding on the bus, i looked outside and thought about death
p-ssing cars the only tribute to his gasping final breath
sleep long, sleep well
only to awake in h-ll
then i went home, to get my mind off things
i decided to watch television
constant subliminal brain immersion
subconscious death wish coercion
buy and consume and want and need
never fall from the trap of greed
i thought about the bitter pain
of jail cells and falling rain
i thought ahead and i looked away
what can you do anyway ?
in sheltered youth and our pretension
avert our eyes to divert attention
only to see the human victims
always there to remind us
sleep long, sleep well, only to awake in h-ll
