Animal instinct, pacing the cage
Can’t understand why I’d wanna relate
Smiling faces gleaming with hope
Dangling lifeless at the end of a rope
No need to worry
Nothing to fear
No cause for outcry
That can’t happen here
Born into bondage
Blissfully mute
Mouth only good for
Receiving the boot
Camera’s watching, keep up the act
The things they take you can never get back
Controlling your input, pulling your strings
Knife to your neck while you stare at the screen
When they come knocking
Don’t look to me
No tears for willing victims
No sympathy
Grasping at straws for a feeling
Something to make you feel whole
Anything for a sensation
Happy to play out your role
Chemically hobbled
Resigned to your fate
Starved for acceptance
Swallow the bait
Telling yourself you deserve it
Earning your right to implode
A paycheck to pay for the poison
Justifying the urge to erode
Chemically hobbled
Resigned to your fate
Starved for acceptance
Swallow the bait
Your whole fucking life
Spent waiting for the next escape
React, retreat, repeat
Until you’re lying in the fucking grave
Sheisters and conmen
Mutants and ghouls
Snake oil salesmen
Sycophants and fools
From every crevice
Out of every crack
They ooze eternal
In their attack
You try to cross me
You get the boot
You try to pin me down
You get the boot
You try to hold me back
You get the boot
All jerks and leeches
You get the boot
Corrupt officials
Priests and police
Compliant soldiers
In their regimes
Line up the gallows
Load up the lead
Bring out the axes
Start chopping heads
You try to cross me
You get the boot
You try to pin me down
You get the boot
You try to hold me back
You get the boot
All jerks and leeches
You get the boot
Everywhere I look
There’s another demon
There’s another enemy
Poised for the strike
But I won’t rest
Until they’ve all been crushed
Kicking and stomping
With all my might
Take a look at the world around you
Don’t you like what you see?
Overflowing with grace and beauty
Ain’t it just a dream?
Starvation rations, nuclear war
Sexual violence, dirt for the poor
Ethnic division, civil unrest
One to the temple, two to the chest
But don’t be a downer, man
Just look on the bright side
I think everything’s looking up
Everything’s gonna be just fine
Take a look at the world around you
Don’t it fill you with pride?
We all just gotta do our part
Can’t you feel it inside?
Don’t mind the gunshots
Don’t be afraid
This world was made for you
You got it made
Nothing but hatred
For everyone I see
All brainless leeches
All mindless freaks
Go to work
Go to school
Go out and play the fool
From the cradle
To the hearse
Wish you nothing but the fucking worst
No patience
No trust
No interest
No love
Have a smoke
Have a drink
Tell a joke and give a wink
You’re a mutant
You’re a shell
I wanna make your life a living hell
No patience
No trust
No interest
No love
Nothing but hatred
For all you worms
I just wanna stomp you down
I wanna watch you squirm
Don’t wanna understand you
Don’t wanna coexist
Not gonna withhold judgment
Not gonna take your shit
Climb the tower
Aim the gun
Excited by the thought of watching you run
Pull the trigger
Hear the crack
Crumple limply as you feel the attack
Everything that you cherish
All the things you hold dear
He wants to squeeze ’til they’re lifeless
Make it all disappear
No manifesto
Nothing to gain
Only interested in causing you pain
Avenging angel
Or mindless freak
It doesn’t matter when you’re dead in the street
Everything that you cherish
All the things you hold dear
He wants to squeeze ’til they’re lifeless
Make it all disappear
No direction
No remorse
No conviction
Only force
Mindless violence
Pointless rage
Feral hatred for the whole human race
By the rifle
By the blade
