Lyrics

[Part 1] [Verse 1] The way I feel is the way I am I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you Just to you What kind of people do you think we are? Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you Just for you The faithful image of another man The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you Yeah, for you The shock troopers laying down on the floor I wish they'd fallen into my private war with you Yeah, with you [Chorus] Are you metal, are you man? You've changed a lot since you began Yeah, began Ladies digging gold from you Will they still dig now you're through? Yeah, you're through [Verse 2] You bought and sold me with your lying words The voices in the dark that you never heard came through Yeah, came through Your fallen phallic god dismembered and gone A poisoned father with his poisonous son, that's you Yeah, that's you I beg you, please don't let it get any worse The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you Yeah, curse you All of the promises that never came true You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true Ah, that's true [Chorus] Are you Satan, are you man? You've changed a lot since it began It began Vultures sucking gold from you Will they still suck now you're through? [Bridge] (Cats, rats) The search is on, so you just better run And find yourself another way Rob the dead, they don't feel a thing Leave the living for another day (Rats, rat) You are a nonentity, you have no destiny You are a figment of a thing unknown A mantle picture of a stolen soul A fornication of your golden throne [Part 2] [Refrain] A smiling face, it means the world to me, yeah So tired of sadness and of misery, yeah! [Verse 3] My life, it started some time ago Where it will end, I don't know I thought I was so good, I thought I was smart I feel my world being torn apart [Refrain] But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah If it don't, I think I'll lose my mind, yeah! [Verse 4] I know, I know I know, yeah, yeah, I know Listen to me while I sing this song You might just think the words are wrong Too many people advising me But they don't know what my eyes see [Refrain] But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah If it don't, I feel I'll blow my mind, yeah! [Instrumental Outro]
