Vampires

[Slug]

I do believe in monsters, I call them officers

I know enough to know to keep an eye on how I talk to them

Some of ya'll are peace, but even one two many

Is still a decent number for the breeding of a beast

With no release, she keeps and teaches no remorse

More resembling of a thief than a horse

Plans long range, attached to some fangs

And an arm that's strong, watch the song when they change

Nothing's strange, cause you know before you saw it

It's all the same, there ain't no such thing as flawless

But all I want is a little more security

A little more safety, a lot less uncertainty

Override the circuitry, the sun is your god(?)

Recognize the urgency, uncover your eyes

When I turn on the lights, she vanishes, hides

But I can feel here essence in the air

Acknowledge the night stalker and regard her as a hunter

Count the amount she takes from the slumber

Summer ain't as hot as you would think

Martyr(?) the child that wears the target for the teeth to sink

[Chorus]

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This city's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

[Slug]

She lurks in the alleys with the wrong reality

Allegiance, honor, keep it all in the family

Consumes the young, blind, deaf, and the dumb

Drains the vein and puts them under the thumb

She's on the television, celebrate status quo

Energy, push mute on the remote control

Break the beats, shatter the measure to pieces

All I've left is the breath and the will to prove the thesis

It's difficult to figure out who to fear

Gettin' older by the minute, younger by the year

Will the hunger disappear, metabolism slow

World domination is the goal

Now let's gather the kids, and take em' out to the sticks

Teach em' all how to live, come take my hand and walk with me

Before the vampires lock down the Twin Cities

[Chorus]

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This city's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

[Slug]

Through the mud of the evening she trudges

The name, the blood is tainted with traces of loveless

From up above, truth watches in bewilderment

Contemplating how he really isn't feeling it

Just another chapter of another moving picture

Another after thought looking for a new elixir

But if she goes even when she has to climb

Out the window, out of sight, out of mind

Look out for me below because I've never been on top of nothin'

Other than a stove inside a pot of water bubblin'

And boilin' between a puzzle and poison

Two games in the same toy bin

But when my times comes you better beat the drums

And aim the guns at the ones that eat the young

If we let her, she'll do whatever it takes to survive

You don't stop till you take her life

[Chorus]

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This country's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This city's a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

[Little Girl's Voice]

I don't wanna to go

(???)

And she's really ugly

Check the orphanage...

[Chorus]

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

This world is a vampire, she eats her kids

Let's hide the bodies under the bridge

All of ya'll are vampires, you eat your kids
