## These are the lyrics to _Pet_ , the track is off thier new album Thirteenth Step. I think this song heavily relates to modern day America and its war on terrorism, the symbolism is great. A well written song.

Don’t fret precious I’m here  
Step away from the window  
And go back to sleep

Lay your head down child  
I won’t let the boogeyman come  
Count the bodies like sheep  
To the rhythm of the war drums  
Pay no mind to the rabble  
Pay no mind to the rabble  
Head down, go to sleep  
To the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say  
They don’t care about you  
Like I do, like I do  
Safe from pain and truth and choice  
And other poison devils  
See, they don’t give a \*\*\*\* about you  
Like I do  
Just stay with me  
Safe and ignorant  
Go back to sleep  
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child  
I won’t let the boogeyman come  
Count the bodies like sheep  
To the rhythm of the war drums  
Pay no mind to the rabble  
Pay no mind to the rabble  
Head down, go to sleep  
To the rhythm of the war drums

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  
They’re one and the same  
I must isolate you  
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin’ to the rhythm of the new world order  
Count the bodies like sheep  
To the rhythm of the war drum  
The boogeymen cometh  
The boogeymen cometh  
Keep your head down  
Go to sleep  
To the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me  
Safe and ignorant  
Just stay with me  
I’ll hold you and protect you from the other ones  
The evil ones  
Don’t love you son  
Go back to sleep

tell me what you think!

I was really impressed by the album insert that came with APC - the thirteenth step. It was done really nicely. The verticle format of the liner notes reminded me of the NIN - Pretty Hate Machine album.

Pet - great song, great lyrics. APC is awesome in concert, but i’d hafta say Tool puts on a better rock show.

hehe that was a concept album! everyone was downloading those songs off the internet years before the release (only 2 hehe) so they wanted it to look like a burnt cd.

maybe you knew that and i have my sarcasim shield glasses on today 🙂

I’ve never seen APC live, but I have caught Tool and they ROCK THE HOUSE, I can imagine they would be better live than APC just b/c they’re Tool for christ sakes.

I’m seeing APC on Nov. 15 (or close to there) in Columbus… anyone from Ohio or elsewhere attending that date?

yeah, I find APC a bit un nearving to listen to sometimes, but you get used to it. I picked their first album up in the sale, I like it… might get the second one some time.

30 seconds to mars, haven’t heard of them… yet.

novatake: Punctuation might help you convey your thoughts more clearly. Your sentence run-ons are confusing the hell out of me… Thats all.

“i bought my girlfriend the new perfect circle for her birthday the day before she went to see them apparently they were very good i aint a big fan myself bit suicidal but hey every1 to there own funky front cover though”

“i listen to less than jake lol so i aint really one to talk bout APC first album is cool ill give em that just the new 1 bit slit your throat by music”

APC’s new album is a watershed moment for modern rock music. Tip o’ the hat to Manard and the boys. “Pet” sorta makes me laugh the way it portrays the mindless American masses.

As for Britney Spears, give the girl a break, just because she had to **[censored]** to get her contract doesn’t mean we have to bag on her here.:cool: if there was ever an arguement for euthenasia, she is it.

so i’m browsing the forum, listenign to blue, and i see this thread. so i decide to put in my 2 cents. they are friggin awesome, this album is greatness, and i’m thoroughly satisfied with it. it’s been a logn time since i could pick up an album and feel so attatched to the songs even upon first time listening. i went into an in depth analysis of the nurse who loved me a while back, and although it was interesting, i can’t find the darn file anywhere, so yall must live without. but in anycase. share the wealth.
