The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
only the soul that has never been kissed
let us adore our beautiful son
he's ridin' on the rivers of Babylon
bootin' up, shootin' up bring on the brightness
see the son of god is comin' up and I see a likeness
internalize the lunacy of the misery is showin'
when you're brought up you're caught up in a system that's goin'
no one answers no one takes that call from you [x3]
junkie man tell me what your story is [x4]
water water water water I desire
some parents house is on fire
slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
the neighborhood will watch without a sound
will someone be a witness please tell me that he's crazy
but he's not and they know that and they can't get him cause he's not crazy
beat lock him knock him take him away his authority
hit 'em, ship 'em, club 'em submitted conformity
no one answers no one takes that call from you [x3]
junkie man tell me what your story is [x4]
my hand went blind
you were in the veins clairvoyant
you were in the veins clairvoyant
my hand went blind
i make love to my transistor my transistor
and my transparency see from the balcony
I looked out on the big field on the big field
it opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves! Out come the wolves!
their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head and watch it all go away
bootin' up, shootin' up bring on the brightness
see the son of god is comin' up and there is a likeness
internalize the lunacy the misery is showin' when
you're brought up and caught up in a system that is goin'
no one answers no one takes that call from you [x3]
junkie man tell me what your story is [x4]
