[Verse 1]
Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
[Chorus]
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
[Verse 2]
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet Earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
[Verse 3]
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's crying
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
[Chorus]
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
[Verse 4]
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The word is you….mine
[Verse 5]
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true
[Verse 6]
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies etc
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear
[Verse 7]
With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel he inside burst through my head
Replacing my eyes
[Outro]
Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
Replacing my eyes
