Sleep Now In The Fire

by Rage Against The Machine

[[ riff is / A-G-A-C-A // D-C-A / ]]

/ Am / throughout

The world is my expense

The cost of my desire

Jesus blessed me with its future

And I protect it with fire

So raise your fists and march around, just don't take what you need

I'll jail and bury those committed and smother the rest in greed

Crawl with me into tomorrow or I'll drag you to your grave

I'm deep inside your children, they'll betray you in my name

{refrain}

Hey, hey

Sleep now in the fire

{refrain}

The lie is my expense

The scope of my desire

The party blessed me with its future

And I protect it with fire

I am the Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria

The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer

The agent of orange, the priests of Hiroshima

The cost of my desire, sleep now in the fire

{refrain} x2

For it's the end of history

It's caged and frozen still

There is no other pill to take

So swallow the one

That made you ill

The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria

The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer

The agent of orange, the priests of Hiroshima

The cost of my desire, to sleep now in the fire

{refrain}
