Don't fret precious I'm here
Step away from the window
(Step away from the window)
Go back to sleep

Safe from pain and truth and choice
And other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do

Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep

Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
(Counting bodies like sheep)
(To the rhythm of the war drums)

-- GO BACK TO SLEEP --

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

http://www.videosift.com/video/Counting-Bodies-Like-Sheep-to-the-Rhythm-of-the-War-Drums by A Perfect Circle is a good song, not a lovey-dovey pro-peace one, but a rather disturbing one.

yes, it's a Perfect Circle

fuck. i really, really miss pre-2000 McCain.
the one who did bits on Conan. the one whose balls Carrell was busting, on that bus.
whose hand i shook, that year, at a rally here in Rochester.

i remember the first time i heard this tune, too. the trailer, for Fantastic 4, which didn't include much of the lyrics. but i dug the percussion.
found a copy of the tune, dug it more. found a copy of the video, and thought, "well, hey now! not exactly shy about it, are they?"

fuck.
McCain's either going to see the error of his recent ways, or be a footnote in a future edition of Profiles In Courage. regardless, i have the greatest respect for what he had accomplished already, and endured, before having his Straight Talk Express derailed, by the 2000 Rove/Tompkins pushpoll.

The first video was great too:

Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep
Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
Count the bodies like sheep
Go back just sleep
Go back just sleep
Go to sleep [x15]
