YOUR SIDE
All your saints are sinning
in front of the line, you don’Äôt know no one’Äôs behind you anymore. You aspire to be the perfect lemming but at least your side is winning. x2
Your time is ending. At least your side is winning. x2 |
PROPHECY coiled up, gleaming

KILL FREEDOM
This threat is the worst yet.
before it kills you. Freedom is about authority and plutocracy. That's the American way. That's the way it is today. So salute the flag and sing your hymn and nevermind about what happened to him. Fear thy neighbor, hate the other, and let every man snitch upon his brother.
before it kills you. about your so-called "rights", we have thousands of cops to put out your lights. We have dozens of pundits, 24 hours a day, to disparage and distort everything you say. We have millions of dollars to spend on our campaign: "Freedom is slavery and sanity's insane!" Give us your liberty (you'll never get it back) and you'll give us even more after the next attack. What do we care? We're doing God's will. An angel gets his wings for every enemy we kill. |
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
We'd all be much better off
Power versus power: fighting. Canine versus canine: grinding. Draining, blaming, blinding. A man stands in the valley lusting -- pistons and dull blades thrusting. You eat life, you spew out dead sludge. Your gods can't soothe this grudge. if you'd just shut your mouth and stop the raw meat flowing in. Stop the venom flowing out. Your mouth: all teeth and razor tongue. You gnawed whatever you could find; charmed us with the songs you sung; chewed our legs off. We don't mind. We'd all be much better off if you'd just shut your mouth and stop the fresh blood flowing in. Stop the warplanes flying out. Your mouth! Like Fenrir you devour. We've come to put you under and at the appointed hour we'll tear your jaws asunder. |
DOUBLE GREATEST
I'm the Einstein of pugilism:
King Kong ain't got nothin' on me. I had a dream I beat myself up. Poetry flows through these lips -- it's hard to keep my mouth shut. I am immortal -- inside of me the blood of kings. A holiday should be declared each time I step inside the ring. Have you ever seen such beauty in body, soul and mind? I'm the center of the universe, the greatest of all time.

IDÉE FIXE
Eyes unblinking, can't stop thinking,
Idée fixe, idée fixe. I've thought about you for weeks. Idée fixe, idée fixe. My willpower's drained from my poor brain. I've been trained to consume from the womb to the tomb; to turn my obsessions into my possessions.
Idée fixe, idée fixe. I've thought about you for weeks. Idée fixe, idée fixe. Your eyes, your hair, your lips, your cheeks. Idée fixe, idée fixe. I'll never get what my heart seeks. Idée fixe, idée fixe. |
QUIT THE GAME
Make sure that your hair's just so.
all the rules. I didn't want to say that I didn't want to play your goddamn game. Go and find the next big thing. Your approval's not my aim. I'm so glad I quit this game. |
SHAVE THE APE See his knuckles scrape.
