Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers - Noisy Head lyrics

rate me

Shepherd says to sleep tonight

He will watch us sheep tonight

My big brother in the satellite

Will keep us safe from harm

The watchdogs all are dozin' now

The polygraphs are frozen now

Hush your voice of reason, sleep deeply in their arms

I got…

Toys in the attic

Monsters under the bed

Ghosts in the cupboard

I got curtains made 'o lead

Bats in the belfry

Goblins out in the shed…

Well I was cryin' for a vision, I got static instead

Boy, oh boy, I got a noisy head

The emperor in his new clothes

Is playin' with his dominoes

He's got puppet strings from head to toes

And an army of Pinocchios

I got the radio on, all I'm receivin'

Is a web of little lies that they keep weavin'

If you wanna babble on and on deceivin'

Try to tell a lie that's worth believin'

I'm hearing whispers from our history books

The kings, queens, bishops, knights and rooks

And the blood they spilled, the gold they took

Was always first the pawn's
