LYRICS

Down the chute and out the door

I know that I've been here before

The blinding lights, the long white coat

Cut the cord before I choke

Oh, please sir, handle me gently

I've got nothing to protect me

This man in a mask stabbed me in the back

No sooner alive than I'm being attacked

If this is the planet earth

Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack

My keepers aren't too bad this time

The man's quiet, the woman's fine

When I arrive, what's hers is mine

I take and take it all the time

Oh please sir, do not tempt me

Those sweet things, they just destroy me

I always want more than I can get

My belly's full, but I'm not done yet

Need something to kill

The world is mine

It's true, it's true, it's true

You taught us how to be the same as you

If only you really knew

We wouldn't do what you do

It's true, it's true, it's true

As you poison the Earth you poison our lives

This isn't living, but another disguise

Go looking for truth

As all of this is built on lies and lies.......

Hey, hey, hey now you've found me

Everything's so clear

With your arms around and your song in my heart

There's simply nothing I can fear

Feel it inside, burst through my head

Straight through my eyes

Please don't let me hide 

Cut through my head

And straight through my eyes
