Hello girls and boys
As you sit in your carpeted
bedrooms
With your stereos on and on
Playin' with those hundred dollar toys
Built to
occupy your minds
So you don't notice your future's are gone
And as you race on through the
streets tonight
Lookin' for some lonely lover to hold you tight
You think that the world is
alright
Well you're out of touch, you're out of time
You're gonna crack, your fragile
regulated minds
As you're headin' on to no kind of conclusion
*Go on, let 'em run your
lives
Watch 'em as they cut your throat
With they're parental carving knife
Go on, let
'em run your lives
Are you too young to see
Or just to old to fight
They've taken
the energy away from you
They haven't taught you enough to deal
With the ordeal you must be
goin' through
Yeah but look at this now
They've left you the schools
They've left you
the government
But they're all fallin' down
Don't forget to make the past due
payments
And in this world of uncertainties
You can be certain that
You must kiss the
ass of the authoritites
And kiss you will if you want to survive
You don't have to look too
hard to see
That there just ain't no free rides
Hell it takes a real man to
survive
(*Repeat)
Well Jay Dee is locked in his soul some kinda
hotel
Well he's burnin inside he shakes shakes shakes
All through the night
And little
Ruda Juda is passed out on the floor
She's just so damn stupid won't somebody
Take away her
gun and show her the door
Show her the door, show her that door's open
And me I'm so
misunderstood, but I'm stil | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
