[Verse 1: Slug]

A city of fools

I wanna bash whoever's responsible for this incomprehensible lack of passion

The sucker's been seduced down to the stick

And the peasants fill their bellies with the poisons you omit

I've come to seperate the heads and shoulders

Of these tracin' paper soldiers

That have been designated to take it over

I'ma roll a couple of boulders off the cliff

On the road below (look out below)

'Cause I don't know what I'ma hit (yeah)

I live by the word until I die by your sword

Even when I'm dead my head will live inside your RCA cords

I wait for the right time, but it resembled now-a-days

Descended on the Earth to put an end to all your holidays

The assassin covered in plain clothes

Smothered the sunlight and set flame to your rainbows

And then came the storm (and then came the storm)

Bewildered those that didn't contemplate

Fake disguised as the norm (as the norm)

And when the smoke evaporated and the damage was accessed

The casualities were counted as they looked upon the mess

As they focused their eyes on the horizon, who'da guessed?

All that stood on top the hill was number seven silhouette

[Chorus: Slug]

(And with this) head splitting tears, cement breaking

Weeping for these people walking in their sleep

(these people walking in their sleep)

My talk is not as cheap

And my thoughts are not as deep

As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep

Head splitting tears, cement breaking

Weeping for these people walking in their sleep

(these people walking in their sleep)

My talk is not as cheap

And my thoughts are not as deep

As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheep

[Verse 2: Slug]

They say a picture's worth a thousand words

Well I beg a thousand pardons for each word I've used for personal games

But the letters that float through my head, that mold my sentences

Could never be contained by your simple picture frames

For every intoxicated moment, I hate life

I strive to balance my aura by dancing with the light

And sometimes it's difficult to stay quiet

I fight it, each time I find myself walking across your eyelids

Wishin' the malnutrition, the imagination of yours

Could see the truth you breathe through each one of your pores

And now the days are drastic, the nights last forever

Wanna tear this motherfucker up and put it back together

I'd like to ask the cats that act like they might hear

If you spent the energy I've spit, tryin' to count the tears

One of these days you're gonna climb the tallest building of all

Give a warning to those below and let the tears fall

[Chorus: Slug]

(And with the) head splitting tears, cement breaking

Leaping for these people walking in their sleep

(these people walking in their sleep)

My talk is not as cheap

And my thoughts are not as deep

As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheet

head splitting tears, cement breaking

Leaping for these people walking in their sleep

(these people walking in their sleep)

My talk is not as cheap

And my thoughts are not as deep

As the day I woke up to discover I lost my sheet

[Brief Singing: Some Female] (2X)

Nobody sees 'cept my mirror on the wall

[Verse 3: Slug]

The damage...overseen by anyone that comprehends

The anguish...felt only by the ones that confessed

The language...was primitive, the listener complex

And everybody was trying to define success

All the self-proclaimed prophets dressed up to look like poets

Pretendin' to be martyrs that they're not

You can learn all their names

And engrain them on your brains

Memories so you can spout them off the top (spout them off the top)

Yo kill 'em all, and let God give 'em haircuts

The flood has begun, and no one has been paired up

So I'ma take a second and beckon the downfall

Of your so called civilized nation

(Yo yo yo yo yo) stop the sound now!

(Cough)
