The
savage mutilation of the human race is set on course
Protest
and survive
Protest and survive
It
is up to us to change that course
Protest
and survive
Protest and survive

Kept
in line with truncheons
Rifle butts and truncheons
This is state control this is state control
State
control state control
This is state control
|
Beaten
up behind closed doors
Cracked and bruised ribs bloody mouth
Cracked and bruised skull bloody mouth
State
control state control
This is state control

The
limbs of a child stick out of debris
It is no T.V. sketch
No
no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
It
ain't the work of make up artists
This wounded flesh and blood
No
no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
|
A
child lies dead in a pool of blood
It is no T.V. sketch
No
no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
It
ain't the work of make up artists
This wounded flesh and blood
No
no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch, No no T.V. sketch

Stumbling
In Darkness
A Lonely Generation
Striving To Pull Out
Into The Light
Searching
Searching But Not Ending
In More Distress
A Hell Of Anxiety
This
is The Grave
The Grave New World
This is The Grave
The Grave New World
|
Old
Is The Wound
Showing No Sign
No Sign Of Healing
Stirring Up Bitter Feelings
Reviving Fear
Reviving Despair
On And On It Goes
Outlasting Many A Prayer
Welcome
To The Grave New World
Of Fear Twisted Hearts
Broken Minds And Souls
Sad And Hungry Faces
Broken Minds And Souls
Madness And Machines
Fear Twisted Hearts

Ain't No Promise In Their Words
Behind The Smilin' Eye's
Dark Stories And A Trail Of Corpses
World
Leaders Deceivers
World Leaders Deceivers
Bloated
On Bloody Thoughts
Trading On Our Tomorrows
For Their Own Gain
The Purveyors Of Pain

From
me to you
Four minutes and counting
From me to you and back again
Back with interest
M.A.D.
M.A.D.
M.A.D. M.A.D.
I'll
see your one
And raise you one
Unleash disaster
On a biblical scale
|
Besides
her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry
Why why why but why
Her
loved one's just another piece of meat on the battlefields
Why why why but why
Her
cries break out into screams
As she now becomes hysterical with grief
|
Her
loved one's just another piece of meat on the battlefields
Why why why but why
