This song appears on Beige.

As a small baby each time I cried my mother came to me
To ease my worries and calm my fears with a sweet melody
I remember hearing the sound of her voice as I screamed in my drool and my pee
She'd slug back some whisky, light up a smoke, and gently sing to me

Go to sleep little leach, you've sucked mama dry
Made her more crazy with every cry
Why weren't we more careful that night on the beach?
Go to sleep, go to sleep little leach

I grew into a terrible teen and ate all of my parents food
Stole all their liquor, broke their antiques, wore stupid clothes and was rude
One night I drove the car home covered in vomit and missing a door
But my dad didn't yell, he just smiled as he said, "Son you don't live here no more"

Go to sleep little leach, you've sucked us bone dry
Stolen our money and will to survive
But you're old enough to kick out on the street
Go to sleep, go to sleep little leach (go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep)

Now I'm a father with my own child who screams and screams and screams
He screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams and screams!
I'm up at eleven and two and four, and all I can do is yell "Why?"
And I swear that I hear my mom laughing at me as I sing that lullaby

Go to sleep little leach, you're driving me mad
Sometimes I dream that I'm not your real dad
It's five in the morning, I work in the day
Go to sleep little leach or get sold on eBay

Go to sleep little leach, everyone tells
Me you're an angel, but I know you're from hell
How else could nine pounds six ounces make such a screech?
Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep you little creep
I beseach ye little leachy, go to sleep (go to sleep)
Sleep (go to sleep, go to sleep)
