Back on the chain gang
Welcome to waking hell
We live just breed,
Only to feed the king.
Round and round it goes
Until we're far too old
The seeds of terror sown
From piles of broken bones
I need a benediction
To survive this fiction
A pleasure reaction
A simple satisfaction
No strings-attached distraction
Superfluous attraction
Send my body into space
Make sure my mind's erased
Such a silly game
Played out on city streets
Well I for one wish I could say:
"They're dead to me"
But round and round it goes
The strength of bonds will grow
Until they grab us by the throat
And squeeze us 'til we choke
I need a benediction
To survive this fiction
A pleasure reaction
A simple satisfaction
No strings-attached distraction
Superfluous attraction
Send my body into space
Make sure my mind's erased
Let us forget this life
Make our hearts cold as ice
Bless each other with our own bread and wine
Make our bodies intertwine
