OPERATION IVY
Sleep long, sleep well Only to awake in hell. [x2] 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. [x2] 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. [x2] 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. [x2] Only to awake in hell.
