Walking On Brains

about

People always step on something or someone to get ahead.

lyrics

Get a face job, tattoo your arse
Get a gold card and fly first class
Smirk from your Beemer as you cruise by
Step on people and crush their careers
Leave them helpless and living in fear
Smile blandly as you kick them in the face
Run your life like a survival game
No room for losers; they’re down the drain
Watch them scream as they go gurgling down

Get a kick from the power and the glory
A sense of purpose from your belief
You know you’re on the right path
All around you hatred’s burning
Pig ignorance rules supreme
An endless loop - it’s your bad dream

Smash your head against the wall
Break your teeth as you stagger and fall
Try and laugh and grimace as you bleed
Bend over and bite down hard
Beg for mercy as she flogs you too hard
It’s so hard to get some sort of relief
Kneel down prostrate for God
Beg absolution for emotional fraud
Keel as the weight of your sins pins you down

Your mind’s twisting and turning
You’ll never feel at ease
You’ve gotta break loose right now
All around hatred’s burning
Pig ignorance rules supreme
A never-ending loop in your bad dream

When you’re up there, flying high
Don’t scream for help or bother crying
If ever you fall and go tumbling down
Coz way up there at the top
Coming down it’s a very long drop
There’ll be no one to catch you if you fall
And as you’re hurtling in the slipstream
Your face contorts like a bug on a screen
Your arms reach out for some sort of handhold
All those lies you told in the past
All the victims you left in your path
All the suicides and emotional wrecks
You gasp for air, your heart beats loud
You hear your pulse as you scream for help
But it’s too late - you know you’re on your own
You’re on your own (etc.)
