You're going to do what I say |
|
And say what I say |
|
You stretch your peacock feathers |
|
You're always on display |
|
Don't act so goddamned conflicted |
|
You wouldn't have it any other way |
|
You're going to write down these words |
|
And pass them along |
|
You're going to fill your book |
|
With your rights and wrongs |
|
You're going to tell your lurid world |
|
The true intentions of these songs |
|
I'm writing out a confession |
|
Every record I've written has left me smitten |
|
A career in masturbation |
|
All in all we're pawns |
|
The ego of mankind stirs in us all |
|
You want to wipe that slate |
|
And start all over again |
|
You want to hide your face |
|
In shame of what your grandpappy did |
|
Pretty soon here we'll all be grandfathers |
|
And our offspring will sing the same shit |
|
The world was built on ego |
|
It was built on slaves |
|
The world was built on a tickle |
|
Between our legs |
|
Come on, you big strong man |
|
You wouldn't have it any other way |
|
I'm writing out a confession |
|
My fathers and brothers |
|
Raped your sisters and mothers |
|
We are the sons of butchers |
|
All in all we're pawns |
|
The darkness of mankind stirs in us all |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I'll drag you out |
|
I'll drive you out |
|
I'll drug you out |
|
I'll tear you out |
|
I'll cut you out |
|
I'll kick you out |
|
I'll push you out |
|
I'll pull you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I'll curse you out |
|
I'll shut you out |
|
I'll shit you out |
|
I'll clean you out |
|
Grab a rope and hang you out to dry |
|
Now I'll damn you out |
|
I cast you out |
|
I'll shove you out |
|
I'm staying |
|
All in all we're pawns |
|
The darkness of mankind stirs in us all |
