Who was told what to do by the man?
Hide your head in the sand
So that when they turn their backs on you
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
And it seems to you the thing to do
Would be to isolate the winner
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
Who was trained not to spit in the fan?
And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And everything's done under the sun
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
Who was breaking away from the pack?
Gotta stay awake gotta try and shake off
A certain look in the eye, an easy smile
Like the club tie and the firm handshake
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
Who was fitted with collar and chain?
And after a while, you can work on points for style
How can I find my way out of this maze?
Dragged down by the stone
And it's too late to lose the weight
Who was only a stranger at home?
That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Who was dragged down by the stone?
If I don't stand my own ground
Who was ground down in the end?
Who was born in a house full of pain?
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
This creeping malaise
Who was given a pat on the back?
Who was broken by trained personnel?
You used to need to throw around
Harder, harder as you get older
With your eyes closed
You know it's going to get harder
Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
Who was found dead on the phone?
