Sleep well, oh baron of industry
do not worry, do sleep well
nobody will hurt you, banker my friend
this truth to you I gently tell
Sleep well, master of currency
on your silk sheets do rest
nothing will happen to you today
enjoy the very best
Sleep well, oh man of influence
your guards you pay enough
they will not turn on you, I'm sure
their life is not that tough
Sleep well, my politician
keep strong in your belief
your driver will not lock your door
and roll you down a cliff
Sleep well, my rich industrialist
dream soft and pleasant dreams
your workers will not turn on you
they live within their means
Sleep well, oh broker of the world
a canapé of gold above you
you and your family are safe
the passive masses love you
Sleep well, my master of the mansion
as our dreams gently burn
the guillotine is gone you know
and never will return
Sleep well, the lobbyist of death
on pillow soft and pure
no one thinks that you're a curse
and hanging is the cure
Sleep well and know within your heart
that you are safe and sound
we love our role in your sick game
no harm to you will come
Sleep well, enjoy the lullaby
I sing for you today
you know that you are good and strong
we just long to obey
Sleep well and close your botox eyes
dream of the things you buy and sell
your future is as pure as gold
we'll never rise and yell
sleep well and know that all is fine
your order will never fall
don’t look behind your back today
there's no one there at all
Sleep well, be safe, be sure and strong
that we are not that smart
no sword of justice, true and sharp,
is aimed right at your heart
Sleep well, my friend, it's all okay
my lullaby will keep you numb
do not fear, enjoy your wealth
as silently we come
