I know that it was the night

The war broke out because

You and I were driving around

You were doing a story

About if people understood

What had happened to their world

Tonight in bed sleeping

A world in bed tonight asleep



You said that you were in touch

With the draft resistors

In case the big boys called you up

You're gonna have to let 'em

Dick you around

But don't let 'em make you do

What you can't live with

Tonight in bed with me sleeping

You looked like you were just a little kid



Shane, I said, you've got to wat

You've gotta have fear in your heart (x 3)



I can hear a friend once saying to me

You've got a thing about men

You're gonna like when they throw you around

But don't let 'em make a fool out of you

Tonight in bed with you sleeping

The world in bed tonight asleep



Shane, I said, you've got to watch your ass

You've gotta have fear in your heart (x 3
