Sleep Well Tonight
Gene Lyrics

It's the end of the year
The year is coming to a close and a new chapter is about to begin.

I have just settled here
I am new to this place and have just found a home here.

It may not be much, but it's enough
I don't have much, but what I have is sufficient for my needs.

Yet trouble has sprung from the pubs and the clubs
Despite finding a place to settle, there is still trouble in town caused by the local bars and nightclubs.

We'll see blood soon, when the night's through
Violence and conflict may ensue before the night is over.

Still you can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
There is an opportunity to achieve success, even if it seems unlikely.

Get some money, and we'll show them
If we acquire some wealth, we can prove our worth and succeed.

This is our territory, this patch belongs to me
We consider this place our own and feel a sense of ownership over it.

Why don't they understand, but I've got a plan
Others may not see things the way we do, but we have a strategy for success.

So take my hand
Trust in me and I'll lead you to success.

And sleep well tonight
Put your worries to rest for the night and wake up ready to face a new day.

Tomorrow we'll fight, would you like it in town?
We will face new challenges tomorrow and we're ready to tackle them head on. Will we stay in this town or move on?

As the bass drums boom by
The sound of drums underscores the seriousness of the situation we find ourselves in.

We'll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town
We will no longer tolerate being stagnant in this small and unexciting place.

Now that everybody knows all about me
My reputation precedes me and everyone knows who I am.

I've been rumbled, I've been sold
My past actions and secrets have been uncovered and exposed.

Born with plenty but you're left empty
Despite starting out with much in life, we still feel unfulfilled and need something more.

You can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
There is still a chance for success, even if it seems unlikely or difficult.

Get some dough out, and we'll show out
If we invest some money, we can demonstrate our worth and potential.

But still trouble comes from these pubs and these clubs
Even with success, there are still challenges and problems that arise from the local nightlife.

Why can't they understand, but I've got a plan
Others may not see our vision, but we still have a strategy and goals for the future.

So take my hand
Trust in me and let's work together to achieve our dreams.

And sleep well tonight
For the meantime, let's rest and recharge for a new and promising day to come.
