You Will Never Take Me Alive

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let's hear it for circuits, lines drawn in the earth Cut to scramble for ample Little mouse hole to park your new car And chew off our arms With teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings Three cheers for the backseats Your legs pinned, that look in your eye... "You'll never take me alive" [Refrain] This is what you are You are what you are [Verse 2] Let's hear it for mirrors With a ghost image clearer Hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone... This little piggy had none 'Cause God hates our country She told me She wants me to sing out He's female Three cheers for the gal in the sky You'll never take me alive [Refrain] This is what you are You are what you are This is what you are [Chorus] Do you know what it means to be doomed? Do you know what it means to be cursed? When the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south You know they're hiding bodies north Did you know that we're sinking knee-deep? Did you nail down what you plan to keep? When the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore You are done for, done for, done for [Verse 3] The caskets are coughing with quotable quoting The graveyard is littered with lumps who thought there was no doubt The world could not live without [Refrain] This is what you are You are what you are This is what you are [Bridge] And if I live through the day when the comet does come I will right every wrong down my list, one by one: Sharpen the axe Stomp the flames out on backs I will be who you want me to be I will be who you want me to be [Chorus] Do you know what it means to be doomed? Do you know what it means to be cursed? When the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south You know they're hiding bodies north Did you know that your boot heels are stuck? Losing feet weren't the rabbit's good luck When the devil is resting his head on your door You are done for, done for, done for You are done for, done for, done for [Post-Chorus] Did you know that you nurse a beehive? Come and get it! Come take me alive All our noses are aiming at grisly frontiers We will show this cruel world... We will show this cruel world we were here There's a lot of safe areas in this world...​
