Kill the Light

I control you through your fear
Kept you shackled all these years
You were bought and sold
In hell before you were born
Your life is mortgaged
So grovel and sweat
It's paid for my ego
Kept you in debt
My thoughts—cash, cash, need cash, cash
Wheel and deal and steal

Feeding our lust, it's just us
You're a race of slaves half in your graves
I'm a cancer cell, here to tell
You need me, I own you
I deserve the light, ha ha ha

Hanging around, I'm cold and wet
I'm out of work and I'm desperate
Urine subways, the stench of puke
Empty alleys, beggars disease
Sweatin' on my cot, which illness I got
Fight to survive, to stay alive
Pawn my TV set, I got no regrets

Gotta make it home
Shoot some hope
Feel the warmth
And kill the light
