SYSTEM OF THE DAMNED
The streets are rugged, screw faces are faceless You won’t survive if you ain’t close to being amazing Tie your laces; run for your life They could jack you for anything, people died for phones Your wheels are now an extension to your character Your personality’s a clone of a million others Hidden agendas, cold and heartless It’s a competition to see who can be the darkest All shapes and sizes, who governs the law The uniform is a symbol that symbolises favouritism Everyone’s a rebel, why you walking with your nose up We torture with the music just to show we ain’t the same Ready for action, bro, I’m the catalyst I don’t give a fuck about your rules coz they’re man-made Concrete tower blocks, steel frame skyscrapers The news that twisted in the papers are scandalous Routines and formulas provoke a few changes My shoulders are still scarred from when I carried the world Tear the skin to expose a humanoid Trained to destroy when the computers breakdown Viral infection spreads like the plague Nobody is safe, let the brave go first Your worst nightmare starts right here Programmed to fear, you’re lost in the alcohol Money is tight so you blaze away the garden weed It’s hard indeed; I hide behind the curtain frame Paint a smile on my face just to disguise the pressure Talk to the fish in the bowl just to escape life The mirror reflects an image I don’t recognise The pit of the earth is just around the corner This cap ain’t worn for fashion, it’s a disguise Hides the eyes from uninvited visitors Intelligent con-men don’t try to con a con-man Consider this a symbol of me breaking he truce Forgive me Father coz I’m about to sin again Just to protect whatever’s mine, unleash the dogs Pit-bull terriers, system of the damned The fire is raging, the crazy man lives You can kiss my vinyl, raise the alarm It’s a free for all with no mercy for informants Take a lie detector test to test you Do what the rest do, I’ve never followed guidelines Blueprints of a maniac on the loose Don’t confuse me with the boy hat you once knew Extra extra, see it on your TV screen The streets are mean and over flooded with vermin Caution when you approach any man with a balaclava Coz he’s bound to have had fallout with his girlfriend The end is near, lend an ear, bend the fear Suspend the tear, send me to another year |
