The Double Axe

let me tell you baby
you get me 3 miles down
I'm 3 miles underground
my head was lost in a guillotine machine
and my body ain't never been found
when you lose what you got
and you don't get what you need
you feel like you gotta receed
when I hear the lies and then I learn the facts
it cuts like a double axe
let me tell you baby
that in this world
there's too many people alive
they rub and they sell and they multiply
but they don't get satisfied
we kiss the dirt and we all get hurt
our brains are anaesthetized
cos love you're just a mindless slut
and you cut on either side
well this is the age of the young
they're out there having their fun
this is the age of the sophisticated
and the worst hasn't even begun
we're made to buy what we don't need
we're forced to scrape and believe
but when my thoughts they come to the fact
they cut like a double axe
