Don't fret precious I'm here, 

step away from the window

and go back to sleep



Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Countin' bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums



Pay no mind what other voices say

They don't care about you, like I do, (like I do)

Safe from pain, and truth, and choice, and other poison devils,

See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.



Just stay with me, 

safe and ignorant, go,

back to sleep, go

back to sleep



Lay your head down child

I won't let the boogeyman come

Countin' bodies like sheep

To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind to the rabble

Pay no mind to the rabble

Head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums



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 and the same

I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself



Swayin' to the rhythm of the new world order and

Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

The boogeymen are coming

The boogeymen are coming

Keep your head down, go to sleep

To the rhythm of the war drums



Stay with me

Safe and ignorant

Just stay with me

I'll hold you and protect you from the other ones,

The evil ones, don't love you son,

Go back to sleep.
