Lyrics

Don't fret, precious, I'm here
Step away from the window and go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do
Count the bodies like sheep...
Count the bodies like sheep...
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums)
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
Go back to sleep
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
(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
They're one and the same, I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself
Written by: Billy Howerdel, Maynard James Keenan
