Fish-Hooks, Needles, Razorblades, Barbed-wire...

Completely other, beyond gestures & words
Completely other, let's torture it first
Just like some apples hide a razor-blade
Some smiles hide a knife,
Needles & fish-hooks cutting their way
Through the fibers of the daylight

Kicked in the teeth
When dared to look up & see the sun
How much more?
Legs cut right below the knees
When on the run
How much more?

What he needs is barbed-wire
And a distant, cruel war
He needs a country to set afire
And another to die for

He has to learn
To see things as they really are
How much more?
All those fish-hooks and razorblades
Piercing his flesh surely hurt
And yet he walks and speaks
But how much longer?

Let's take as much as we can
'cos it won't last too long
It wont last until
The end of this song...

Kicked in the teeth
When dared to look up & see the sun
How much more?
Legs cut right below the knees
When on the run
How much more?
He has to learn
To see things as they really are
How much more?
All those fish-hooks and razorblades
Piercing his flesh surely hurt
And yet he walks and speaks
But how much longer?
How did he dare remains a mistery to us
How long this little fuck
Will take before he...
When he cracks
We'll pick up his pieces and
See what he was made of...
