sleep little one sleep, take comfort in the nights embrace/ cuz the morning sun will open your eye's and you'll see that you live in a fucked up place. sleep little one sleep, take comfort in any kind of embrace cuz the morning sun's gonna open your eyes cuz you live in a fucked up place./ baby i was like you once i slept in a crib with yellow sheets. now the sand in my eyes and the dirt on my feet and the sand in my mouth and everyone just dreams of themselves anyway. no you never asked no one for life but here you are in somebody else's world. and they'll say that the change can come from you but it should've come long ago and how can things change all of our dreams are unfurled?/ the stars in your eyes are just shattered glass and the dolls on the shelf became the men in the gutter and everyone just dreams of somebody else. baby i'll never sleep that way again until i die!
When I hear this song I picture a woman watching a sleeping child and it saddens me to think of how innocent our youth is and how we're bringing them up in this dark twisted world.
