So you're feeling unimportant

'Cause you've got nothing to say

And your life is just a ramble

No one understands you anyway

Well, I've got a piece of news son

That might make you change your mind

Your life is historically meaningful

And spans a significant time

Slumber will come soon

And you are helping put it to sleep

Side by side we do our share faithfully assuring

That slumber will come soon

Well now do you fell a little better

Lift up your head and walk away

Knowing we're all in this together

For such a short time anyway

There's just no time to parade around sulking

I would rather laugh than cry

The rich, the poor, the stong, the weak, we share this place together

And we pitch in to help it die

We pitch in to help it die

I'm not to good at giving morals

And I don't fear the consequence

If life makes you scared and bitter

At least it's not for very long

Slumber will come soon

And you are helping put it to sleep

Side by side we do our share faithfully assuring

That slumber will come soon

Slumber will come soon (4x)
