Lyrics:
(Based on those from ratm.net)

yeah!

the world is my expense
the cost of my desire
jesus blessed me with his 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
i'll drag you to your grave
i'm deep inside your children
number 20 with my name

Chorus:
hey!
hey!
sleep now in the fire
(2x)

you anger's my expense
its scoped with 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 agents my folidge the priest of hiroshima
the cost of my desire
sleep now in the fire

Chorus
(2x)

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 makes you ill
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria
the noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer
the agents my folidge the priest of hiroshima
the cost of my desire
sleep now in the fire

YEAH!

Solo

sleep now in the fire!
sleep now in the fire!
sleep now in the fire!
sleep now in the fire!
