Well, I never had a chance to learn
The dignity won't be returned
I give you everything I have
But I get what I have earned
I talk about ? inside
The dignity won't be denied
If this what your heaven's like
Well, I think I'd rather burn
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I can't afford this sinful pride
I might as well be crucified
I thank the Lord, I try to take
This pain that has returned
Sins of the flesh and naked aggression
The only thing I hear is the voice of oppression
Well, I take the pain every night
Insanity's a dying fight
And everything I ever knew
Retreats like fantasies
Visions of a perfect life
Where every smile hides a knife
For all I get for what I gave
Well, fuck your goddamn dreams
Now I lay me down to sleep
And then pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Now Jesus Christ a superstar
Just not who I think you are
Things I learned when I was young
Are never what they seem
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Sins of the flesh and naked aggression
The only thing I hear is the voice of oppression
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
