Sleep Now In the Fire (Live, Mexico City, Mexico, October 28, 1999)
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists and march around
Just don't take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or I'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children
They'll betray you in my name
[Chorus]
Hey, hey
Sleep now in the fire
[Verse 2]
The lie is my expense
It's the cost of my desire
The party blеssed me with its future
And I protеct it with fire
[Pre-Chorus]
I am the Niña, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer
The agents of orange, priests of Hiroshima
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
[Chorus]
Hey, hey
Sleep now in the fire
Hey, hey
Sleep now in the fire
[Bridge]
For it's the end of history
It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one that makes you ill
[Refrain]
The Niña, the Pinta, the Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer
The agents of orange, the priests of Hiroshima
Sleep now in the fire
[Outro]
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
Sleep now in the fire
