Lyrics
OPERATION IVY - Sleep LongSleep long, sleep well
Only to awake in hell
(2X)
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 hell
Sleep long, sleep well
Only to awake in hell
(2X)
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
Passing cars the only tribute to his gasping final breath
Sleep long, sleep well
Only to awake in hell
(2X)
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 hell
(2X)
Only to awake in hell
