What if we all Spoke death to each other And crushed each other's Dreams with nightmares? Prefab purgatory Pick pockets Stuck us all in Heartless lockets Dismantled and degraded Dazed and confused Depraved and tortured Left mentally castrated The Stars emptied our accounts As we sat and laughed While they ***** us every Friday and Saturday Prime time or matinee Box office billions just To tell us how to think Now we all got that Bad-investment stink Staring at the open jaws Of a privately owned clink Or down at a yawning grave Pick your poison well And don't you dare blink We earned this together… Torn apart and put into a pie Minced Meat!

Blink
What if we all Spoke death to each other And crushed each other's Dreams with nightmares? Prefab purgatory Pick pockets Stuck us all in Heartless lockets Dismantled and degraded Dazed and confused Depraved and tortured Left mentally castrated The Stars emptied our accounts As we sat and laughed While they ***** us every Friday and Saturday Prime time or matinee Box office billions just To tell us how to think Now we all got that Bad-investment stink Staring at the open jaws Of a privately owned clink Or down at a yawning grave Pick your poison well And don't you dare blink We earned this together… Torn apart and put into a pie Minced Meat!
