Oh... another day another way another life another day another life ...

of existence....

Oh fear threat and filth

Tender in hate

Slug and grab

Trap and take away

Another track

Meat rack and ruin

Boarded up and beaten up

Roaming the streets

Have no respect for a life

A limb a love

Whose love are you anyway?

Mother smiles

Narrow smiles

Drink up your poison

Like a good little girl

Can't have your coke

And beat it you know

'Sick of seeing you bruised and burnt out

Ugly and low'

So sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

Of being used and abused

That's right (that's right that's right that's right that's right that's right)

Pushing through the pavement sprawl

Round the late night supermarket

Dirtlocked lady

Who hits you in the chest

Give her all your money, Mr. Barefoot

All the year round

Please don't breathe on me

Oh and Hi there

Zizi Jean (night) mare

Still sticky from you

Still sticky from me

(I hear voices)

Still sticky from you

Still sticky from me

Smack kerpow!!

Into cold Greaseburger prance

Call me Chico Chico from Puerto Rico

Guilty of another cold handed sperm murder

Forever the crunch of makeup under foot

Where will you take me

When this is all over?

Somewhere where I don't have to

Shiver in the shadows...

So sick and tired

Of being used and abused

Everyday

You set up

Go to work

Floating like the ash

In the Coffee Pot café

(that's right that's right that's right that's right that's right)

Throwing upon an over-diet

Of slob culture

Overdose and out

I'm scared for you

For me

For you... no...

For me

I got so tired of

Reading about the anguish of being

That I ended up being

Without

And where will you take me?

Where will you take me?

Away from this hell to be

(or not to be)

Pull up the vacancy sign in your eyes

I've seen it and I don't like it

I've seen it and I don't like it

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

Of being used and abused

Hey is this the last night in Sodom?

(that's right that's right that's right)

Sick and tired....

A day today of a life of existence

And his name... is Jesus

(You have never known love till you've known the love of god...

That's right)

Only god may find a way

Where there is no way

That's right....

Is this the last night in Sodom?

(You have never known love till you've known the love of god...

That's right)

What a waste....

And they never shed a tear

For Jesus Christ when he died on the cross

And they drove a spike in his side and hammered a crown of thorns on his head

What a waste...
