The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
|
only the soul that has never been kissed
|
let us adore our beautiful son
|
he's ridin' on the river of Babylon
|
|
bootin' up, shootin' up bring on the brightness
|
see the son of god is comin' up and I see a likeness
|
internalize the lunacy of the misery is showin'
|
when you're brought up you're caught up in a system that's goin'
|
|
no one answers no one takes that call from you
|
junkyman tell me what your story is...
|
|
water I desire
|
some parents house is on fire
|
slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
|
the neighborhood will watch without a sound
|
|
will someone be a witness please tell me that he's crazy
|
but he's not and they know that and they can't get him cause he's not crazy
|
beat lock him knock him take him away his authority
|
hit 'em, ship 'em, club 'em submitted conformity
|
|
my hand went blind
|
you were in the veins clairvoyant
|
my hand went blind
|
i make love to my trance sister my trance sister
|
went on and my trance parents see from the balcony
|
I looked out on the big field
|
it opens like the cover of an old bible
|
And out come the wolves
|
their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
|
I stand on my head and watch it all go away
|
|
bootin' up, shootin' up bring on the brightness
|
see the son of god is comin' up and there is a likeness
|
internalize the lunacy the misery is showin' when
|
you're brought up and caught up in a system that is goin'
|
