lyrics

I want you to die!

Lay your bread upon the waters
And you water down your bread
Someone said, "We must do something!"
But choose wrong, and BANG you're dead

Every ban creates a market, every law creates a crime
And if not everyone's a criminal, should we all be doing time?
Well, that's the price you pay for penalties and we all must pay the price
Or all the shit they sell on TV is just another sack of lies
Why wage war on hate and poverty and freaks on methadone
When war for peace kills just as dead as war for war alone?
And all the fools and prophets who say it'll never happen here
Will feel the towers tremble, and their hearts will fail for fear

And I'll be at the arena
When they start the bloody show
And I'll be the first one cheering
At the spectacle below

As the freaks, the fags, the whores, the artists, the longhairs and the johns
Rise to meet the beasts of power and fall bleeding one by one
When they take them to the arena, line them up against the wall
And feed them to the Pharisees to entertain us all
So will you stand tall with the wise man and admit you've much to learn
Or will you just stand idly fiddling as this mother crashes to the ground and burns?
