When the song has ended
And you've learned a lesson
Yes, the song has finished
And we're amending
The message is sending

When the song has finished
When the story has ended
People are offended
Give them insight
Try as they might
Riot and fight

When you sing it to your lover
Hoping that it will boil over
If you go under cover
Do you love her?
Do you want her?
Do you need her?

Get me front row tickets to the crucifixion
Freud always spoke of oral fixation
I’ve got nothing to hide

In Jones town the bodies all dropped
Turns my stomach into knots
The master mind was never caught
He ate their souls
They ate his lies
The audience just cries

Before I lay
On my death bed
And they drop the bomb
I want to be
I want to see
The winds move mountains

Return to me
Back into my life
I’m getting sick of being beaten down
Looking for answers never found

And I do my best to never make a sound
Oh so close but way to distant
All alone with no assistance
Go away from me no, come away with me

What have I done to my life?
What have I done to my destiny?
Murdered, I killed it stopped it completely
Kicked it endlessly until blood was drawn
Too many faces to which I’m bound

I think I hear a tiny voice
It says to make a choice
I want my freedom and I need it
I want my freedom and I need
Out
Now
Out now

Senseless fight saved
Record night made
Not a word
My gracious lord
Not a word

When the song has finished
And you learned a lesson
Yes the song has ended
And were amending
The message is sending

When you sing it to your lover
Hoping that it will boil over
If you go under cover
Do you love her?
Do you want her?
Do you need her?
