One of Erik's best:
Anti-Lullaby - Erik Petersen a/k/a Mischief Brew
We are bouncing and dancing as you sing your lullaby
Shouting 'move' when you say 'stay'
The tune of your flute is a rifle you shoot
That lays us all down to be prey.
They love you, we hate you,
They made you, we brake you today, ya-ha
Break it away, ya-ha-haa
We are painting the walls, making jokes out of laws
Hiding sleeping pills under our tongues
Shut the light, close the door, we spit them to the floor
Then we're hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin' on drums
What did you know when you said we are wasting away? ya-ha
How could you say?
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
Big table, not big enough...
How could you say we just waste away, waste away?
Hummin' and a-strummin' and a-bangin'
A-bangin' on drums, yeah yeah yeah yeah!
We will not be lulled into slumber by you,
We will not be lulled into sleep.
For we've had a taste of this wonderous place
And its treasures we intend to keep.
We will not be lulled into slumber
We will not be lulled into sleep
For we've had a taste of
this wonderous place
And its treasures we intend to keep.
For we've had a taste of
this wonderous place
And its treasures we intend to keep.
So now when they say we just
waste away, waste away
You can say 'hey, it's not so.'
Why is it then that we're growing and growing and growing and growing,
And showing them all what we know? yeah yeah yeah yeah!
We will not be lulled into
slumber by you, la-dadadaa
For we've had a taste of
this wonderous place, la-dadadada
We will not be lulled into sleep
For we've had a taste of
this wonderous place
And its treasures we intend to keep.
For we've had a taste of
this wonderous place
And its treasures we intend to keep.
