lyrics

Hush now, don’t say a word.
Don’t you dare disturb the rest of the herd.
Hush now, from you not a peep.
Let the other sheep lull you back to sleep

Seek your oblivion in the rock-a-by cradle
Of fashion magazines and empty TV dreams
Let your mind stultify
As you swallow the hollow lullaby

Hush now, may you slumber sound
While terrors abound; for you no battle ground.
Hush now, don’t look past the gloss.
You see, the other’s loss is not worth a fuss

Seek your oblivion in the rock-a-by cradle
Of a third-rate theme park ride
In a talk-show tabloid void
Kiss your soul goodbye
As you swallow the hollow lullaby
You swallow the hollow lullaby.
