Go For The Throat

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I was lying in a coma

By the side of some damn road

My fucking heart was pounding

Like I thought it would explode

I had no protection

No family

No friends

I had nothing really

But a will to make this end

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up

It isn't very nice

What I do to make end's meet

It isn't very pretty when you hate

The folks you meet

It's a shame to feel hurt and angry everyday

It's a shame to take it out

On whoever's in the way

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Man I'm so fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

I'm fucked'up

Man I'm so fucked'up

Poor little girl

I hurt her really bad

I haven't been the same since I lost my mom and dad

Where is the justice ?

Well I really don't know

When everybody is singing

Like a fucking so and so

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up

Yeah I'm so fucked'up

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

They took away my freedom

They took away my games

They took away my innocence

And gave me shitty fame

There's nothing left to stop me

There's nothing left to feel

There's nothing left inside me

But a low down dirty deal

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up baby

Go for the throat

I'm fucked'up baby

I'm so fucked'up baby

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

I'm so fucked'up

Oh I'm fucked'up

Go for the throat
