"Sword Of Damocles - Externally"


	I see The Sword of Damocles
	is right above your head
	They're trying a new treatment
	to get you out of bed
	But radiation kills both bad and good
	it can not differentiate
	So to cure you they must kill you
	the Sword of Damocles hangs above your head

	Now I have seen lots of peoples die
	from car crashes or drugs
	Last night on 33rd st.
	I saw a kid get hit by a bus
	Bus this drawn out torture over which part of you lives
	is very hard to take
	To cure you they must kill you
	the Sword of Damocles above your head

	That mix of morphine and dexedrine
	we use it on the street
	It kills the pain and keeps you up
	your very soul to keep
	But this guessing game has its own rules
	the good don't always win
	And might makes right
	the Sword of Damocles is hanging above your head

	It seems everything's done that must be done
	from over here though things don't seem fair
	But there are things that we can't know
	maybe there's something over there
	Some other world that we don't know about
	I know you hate that mystic shit
	It's just another way of seeing
	the Sword of Damocles above your head
