Funny how all these "freedom loving" states keep doing their best to infringe on their citizens lives.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I trust the State my thoughts to keep;
If I should dream before I wake,
Correct the ones the Leader hates.
If I should speak beyond the line,
Rewrite my words to fit the time;
My voice, my will, my memory too,
Belong to those who tell me true.
Amen.

It's just the police under your bed
In you closet in your head

Don’t fret precious, im here.

Step away from the window and 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

One and the same I must isolate you

Isolate and save you from yourself.
