Back, Jack, Do It Again

Don't fret precious I'm here Step away from the window Go back to sleep Lay your head down child     I won't let the boogeyman come Counting 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 Count the 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 One and the same I must isolate you Isolate and Save you from yourself Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and Count the bodies like sheep     To the rhythm of the war drum 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 Hold you and protect you from     The other ones     The evil ones     Don't love you son Go back to sleep.     -- A Perfect Circle, "Pet"
