Every little lie they tell you hides a bigger truth!
lyrics
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
