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 feel a little better? Lift up your head and walk away Knowing we're all in this together For such a short time anyway There is just no time to parade around sulking (slumber will come soon) I would rather laugh than cry (slumber will come soon) The rich, the poor, the strong, the weak We share this place together (slumber will come soon) And we pitch in to help it die We pitch in to help it die I'm not too 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 (slumber will come soon) Slumber will come soon (slumber will come soon, slumber will come soon) Slumber will come soon
