Big Sleep from Dark Places by The InSect

We are old, we are old,
We're not in this together.
The vagabonds had children
And signed their dotted lines...
So tell me what you're thinking
As you tick that box?
You say,"I'm alright, I'm doing fine..."
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid...

Heading for the big sleep 6 feet deep
I've got my hands in the air but there's no-one to see
If you wanna make a living then you'd better stop digging.
You can't take it with you, you can't take it with you.

It means everything, it means nothing...
All our heroes and dreams are gone in the blink of an eye.
Tomorrows passing remark, "You remember that dead guy that did that thing that other time?"
Just falling in line... dominoes
For the Anecdote pile.
In fear of inscriptions...
"There but for the grace of god.. WENT I!"

Heading for the big sleep, deep and hollow
I've got dirt in my nails as I work for tomorrows
Vision is fading, I watch myself failing.
I'm losing my health, I'm losing myself.

Do what you're told x 4
(Do what you're told) And I realise...
(Do what you're told) There's no "Hello Hero"
(Do what you're told) And I realise...
(Do what you're told) We're all just playing for time..

Heading for the big sleep 6 feet deep
I've got my hands in the air but there's no-one to see
If you wanna make a living then you'd better stop digging.
You can't take it with you, you can't take it with you.

Heading for the big sleep, deep and hollow
I've got dirt in my nails as I work for tomorrows
Vision is fading, I watch myself failing.
I'm losing my health, I'm losing myself
