Lullaby for the Common Man Songtext
von Somewhere

We′re only here to be of use to you
Our dreams are just extensions of your own
So if you falter in your journey home
Please let us be your guide through the unknown

And if you hear some screams from far away
Take heart in all the goodwill we have shown

Look away if the shroud should fall
The cancellations are unfortunate

Your dreams were really lovely but they're sold
Yes, we are here to be of use to you
But only if you do as you are told

Look away if the shroud should fall
Avert your eyes, there′s nothing there


Everything has consequences
Never think that we don't know

Everything has consequences
Never think that we don't know

Look away if the shroud should fall

No need to tell us if you′re satisfied
Should your opinion count, we will find out

We only want what′s really best for you
Sometimes that means you have to do without

Everything has consequences
Never think that we don't know

Everything has consequences
Never think that we don′t know

Just stare straight at the screen
It will replace your dreams
Now close your eyes and go to sleep
