Touch me here or go to hell
I promise I will never tell
Go home and go to sleep tonight
Tomorrow I'll hold you tight
Alter boys, alter toys, bring me your little boys
I pushep myself to the brink of insanity and there's no pulling me back
relax, close your eyes / you sleep where you lie
you all think the same / so they can harvest your brain
the pressure released / at night when you sleep
its fuel for them now / you never used it any how
in your big fancy house / your perfect little spouse
and your 2.5 children / are all fucking victims
you don't live your life / they don't use a knife
a simple procedure / its done through the wires
Putana, fas skata na
you're fuel for the fire / power for the liars
you feed them your brain / you give them their strength
the TV. Radio. Work for them. Watch their shows.
Give them cash and kiss their ass
you and your neighbor / exactly the same
there's no variation / in the american dream
you and your neighbor / exactly the same
try to be normal / when they come for your brain!
Why am I the mechanical man? I do it and do it and do it again
Why am I the mechanical man? over and over and over again
40 hours I work each week, go home to bed and then to sleep,
mechanical life, mechanical mind, a working tool I've been refined
I scratch my head
Protected little child, Let your imagination run wild
Throw away your life
Everyone just loves you
No respect for life
Now you're fucking stuck
False security
Taught to hate
Be all that you can be
The whole world is against you
To keep your head
The pain I caused for you
You don't know how I feel
Pressure building growing, growing
I can't take this
when should i sleep when should i live
i can't take this
Never had to deal with your pain
What Do I Know?
Has anything changed to this day?
It was probably me
NOT YET AVAILABLE
She tries to break away
Plead and beg for your respect
Humble to you she lives
But she screams...
NOT YET AVAILABLE
NOT YET AVAILABLE
and pieces of my skin
fall to the earth
My heart breaks
As I write
Day to day
Death I fight
I can't hold
Onto anything
It slips out of my grip
And falls to nothing
I can't save anyone
I'm not a hero
I only die here
Away from everyone
Scratching my head
Trying to bare new skin
So that it may
Shield me form the harm
Of everyday life
Your world as you know it will be torn down
Dream and imagine, remember those thoughts
You will become the age you once imagined
And little by little you'll realize
That all they could be were dreams
You stand now and reflect on what you once felt, water puddles in your eyes
Your face gets hot you fear to cry, you hit the point of what you once had dreamed
Now it is reality
Be friends with uncle sam
Kill people you don't know
Just to support this great old land
And your patriotic crap
Go destroy a nation
And they'll praise you when you get back
Not even your family
You'd kill them in a heartbeat
In the name of god and shit country
You wanted a slice
Of the pie in the sky
Prostitute for USA
Now they whore you till you die
In a system that hates you
The army is your life
And they'll always tell you what to do
Don't know who you are
You used to be a human
But the brainwashing has gone too far
Taught to kill
No free thought
No free will
God bless the USA
Be all that you can't be
God fuck the USA
They only want to hurt
Time has proven one thing
That no one cares
You are alone
No help to struggle
I never meant to hurt
I never meant to kill
To save your life
To live another day
To try another day
Can not be forgiven
For I had no reason
To do it to you at all
The hate you have inside
For all of mankind
Put there by me
Too much fucking pain
Cause I won't let you know
It never goes away it never goes away
My capacity is reached I'm losing my sleep
My life fades away my mind fades away
I can't get my sleep I have no release
When will this end oh god let it end
Living in circles until I live out my cycle
When will this end oh god let it end
can you tell me can't you tell me
it can't last forever but i'll never surrender
when will this end when will this end
Wasn't there when they tore you down
Couldn't save you from their tireless blows
You had to carry yourself on your own
I'm still the selfish one
You say the media and society
Is the root of all your problems
But I'm the one to blame
That planted the seed
That started the hate
How can I relate?
Your continual belittling is the potion of seduction
She build herself up tries to be strong
one little nibble and it's all gone
You swear you're fucking sincere
One little smirk and you're putting me down
Now I crave for what you give
You've turned me against
What I decided I wanted
You can never change my mind
