Bad Religion - Slumber lyrics

so, you're feeling unimportant,

cuz you've got nothing to say,

and your life is just a ramble,

no one understands you anyway

well, i've got a piece of news, son,

that might make you change your mind,

your life is historically meaningful,

and spans a significant time

slumber will come soon,

and you are helping put it to sleep,

side by side we do our share faithfully

assuring that slumber will come soon

well, now do you feel a little better?,

lift up your head and walk away,

knowing we're all in this together,

for such a short time anyway

there is just no time to parade around sulking,

i would rather laugh than cry,

the rich, the poor, the strong, the weak,

we share this place together,

and we pitch in to help it die

i'm not good at giving morals,

and i don't fear the consequence,

if life makes you scared and bitter,

at least its not for very long.
