lyrics

Another youth that we can twist
We'll threaten her to cease to exist
She's powerless to resist
And from our fouled lips... a kiss

Row upon row of those who failed to escape
Victims of wage slavery rape
All the shining beauty we keep covered
All the good things we smother

Too many dreams of happiness
We'll fill her with emptiness
Make her a slave and tell the lie of familial bliss

Row upon row of those who failed to escape
Victims of wage slavery rape
All the shining beauty we keep covered
All the good things we smother

It doesn't matter what you do
You can't escape what is inside you
The hiding place that you run to
Is no protection
I am beside you

It's time to go to your hell
To your work your prison cell
The lies you tell to yourself
And your soul you sell

Row upon row of those who failed to escape
Victims of wage slavery rape
All the shining beauty we keep covered
All the good things we smother
