"How Do You Sleep?"


So sgt. pepper took you by surprise

You better see right through that mother's eyes

Those freaks was right when they said you was dead

The one mistake you made was in your head

How do you sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?


You live with straights who tell you "you was king"

Jump when your mamma tell you anything

The only thing you done was yesterday

And since you've gone you're just another day

How do you sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?


A pretty face may last a year or two

But pretty soon they'll see what you can do

The sound you make is muzak to my ears

You must have learned something all those years

How do you sleep?

Ah how do you sleep at night?
