I met my girl
|
She was livin' in the melting pot
|
I touched her skin
|
It was greasy from the melting pot
|
Get yourself a weapon
|
Cause they slice you up in the melting pot
|
Well, I don't really have time to talk
|
But I wish you lots of luck in the melting pot
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And in the end it's always just some game
|
The heartbreak, the laughter has all been in vain
|
Beat up and lied to
|
For your whole life
|
Kick you in the head
|
In the melting pot
|
|
The hawks live upstairs
|
Where the air is clean in the melting pot
|
They like to swoop down
|
And gnaw at your brain in the melting pot
|
Money, sex and power
|
Jerk you off in the back seat of the melting pot
|
Then they say I saw you last night
|
And you sure were looking sweet in the melting pot
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
They'd like to buy you off
|
If they possibly can in the melting pot
|
With temptation and dreams and persuasion
|
That's what they got
|
In the melting pot
|
Keep you bleeding, begging and snotty here
|
In the melting pot
|
Well, don't you dare laugh out loud
|
They'll take away what you got
|
In the melting pot
|
|
[Chorus]
|
