GO TO SLEEP, INC. All the little lies we sell you, Hide a bigger truth You have handed us control And now we’re on the loose Every piece of misdirection Puts you further in our hands Go to sleep you little people We’re busy with our busy plans Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie For your own good We’re taking care of you Like we said we would Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie The trains are on time Go to sleep little people While we steal your lives. No don’t try to solve the puzzle You won’t crack the code That’s your place right over there Buying everything you’re told Push the button, pull the lever Quotas on the rise No don’t try to wake up clever We have all the ears and eyes Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie The TV watches you We don’t have to hide ‘Cos there’s nothing you can do Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie The trains are on time Go to sleep little people While we steal your lives Oh my little children go to sleep Dream of all the promises we keep All your foolish wishes won’t come true Stand in line and buy what we tell you to

Telescopes All the telescopes look back at us, back at us And all the microscopes peer up into our eyes They peer back up into our eyes See through our thin disguise And our need to know what's going on We’ve got to m,m,m,m,measure everything M,m,m,m,measure everything And when we’re looking out, we're really looking in And when we're looking in, we're really looking out And I have no doubt That in the end It won't mean a thing When we are gone When we’re all gone All the telescopes look back at us, back at us And all the microscopes peer up into our eyes They peer back up into our eyes See through our thin disguise And our need to know what's going on We’ve got to m,m,m,m,measure everything M,m,m,m,measure everything Amd when we’re looking out we're really looking in And when we're looking in we're really looking out And I don't know Why can't we just be content Not to care what anything meant And to stand beside The ocean And just gaze out Just gaze out Just gaze out,
