Asleep Lyrics - Chumbawamba

But how do kings and presidents, prime ministers and generals, and company chairmen sleep at night? 

How do they shut their eyes when they turn out the lights? 

Turn out the lights for the people they're shitting on 

Turn out the lights for the people they're torturing 

Turn out the lights for the people they're poisoning 

Turn out the lights for the people they're starving 

Turn out the lights for the people they've murdered 

They got two big secrets one up each sleeve, first they believe that they're doing God's work, and that's the lie that they can lie down with, 'Cause it's seconded by the people they govern. 'Cause the people they govern will work for them, buy from them, and die for them 

And the people they govern will vote for them 

And the people they govern do their sleeping for them 

Do their sleeping for them, do their sleeping for them 

Meanwhile Ronnie is on first name terms with God, or so he sees it in his head. Too many motion pictures when he was younger, and he's round at God's place for a meal. 

God preparest a table before Ronnie 

In the presence of Ronnie's enemies 

God annointest Ronnies' head with oil 

Ronnie's cup runneth over 

Surely goodness and mercy, shall follow Ron 

An Psalm is an anagram of napalms 

Wake up, we must wake up! 

We must wake up! 

We must wake up! 

We must wake up!
