Her Mind's Awake

She’s tied together with barbed wire
She’s held together with barbed wire
Head is a bush fire
But her minds awake
But her minds awake
She's got a tattoo of me
She's got a tattoo of me
She's got scars on her legs
From the Black Sea
But her minds awake
O her minds away
O her minds awake
She burns holes in her universe
She burns holes in her universe
& she doesn't even try
She cut holes in her universe
She cut holes in her universe
& she doesn't even cry
Her minds awake
Her minds awake
She can turn glass into stone & stone into Dust--
With word or a look, & she knows it
Hey
But Needs Must!
But her minds awake
But her minds awake
She burns holes in her universe
She burns holes in her universe
And she doesn’t even try
She cuts holes in her universe
She cuts holes in her universe
& she doesn't even cry
But her minds awake
Her minds awake
Her minds awake
Her minds awake

I'm getting itches
Tryin just to live
They're wearing jackboots baby
So just forget and forgive
Just hangin on now
By the skin of yr teeth
Feel the rain in yr shoes
Courtesy the zombie elite...
So take it now
You've got to prove
To yrself
Gotta try a little harder
You don't need money
When you got air
Don't need no television
To permeate yr hair
You got yr freedom
O within the prison of Law
Just make yr mind up honey
Who you working it for...
So take it now
You've got to prove
To yrself and know what to do
Don't give in, don't you forget
What you are...
Try a little harder
Hate what you want to hate
Don't you know that you're good
Without it
Say what you need to say
You don't have explain yr reasons...
Try a little harder

Money see
Money do
Ask a broker
If it's true
Thread a camel
Through the eye
Of a needle
With pie in the sky
It's a frame
It's a bust
It's lesson
In old fashioned trust
It's a war
It's a game
And the bastards
Got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards
Had my head
Opened up
By a shrink
Down on his luck
Had it all
Lived the dream
One day wondering
What does it mean?
When it's gone
In a day
And the clouds
Are blown this way
Just a pawn
In the game
While the bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards got out of the rain
The bastards

Dead Ringers

Look at all the time that's locked you up
Lockers and the clocks all bleeding out
A peasant in the city with a poor mans luck
Lucking to the stitches falling down
& even if the dogs come round
Even if a square world's found
The best you know will be the best you had
If you ever even noticed that you had a head
Taking all yr devils out for lunch
Starving & their stomachs howlin' loud
I tell you, its better than a beggars hunch
& when the crows start scroungin' around
And they can bleed the Gulf of Mexico
But you & I will never know
The best we had was in the Junk we lost
(Like when I woke up in a toilet wearing permafrost)
When I'd never failed love...
Kick him in the balls and make him beg for it
Now ladies! Just untie him, now!
You know yr just wearing him on a string
Dead ringers from the lost and grounded crowd
Even when the dogs get here, yeh
Stinking of their icecream beer
Pot-bellied and in pantyhose
Who you never even notice
When they're wearin' the clothes...!
But they've never felt love...
They've never found love...
They've never failed love...
Look at how time has locked you up
The Clockers and the locked up bleeding Owls
A beggar in the city with a blind man's luck
Walking with his stitches falling out
So even if the Gods come round
They'll never find a world that's round
Disfigured by the well-to-do
And the busybody nobodies
Who never had a clue...
If they ever felt love
Have they ever found love?
Have they ever failed love?
If they ever felt love
Have they ever found love?
They ever failed love?
Look at all the time that's locked you up
Lockers and the clocks all bleeding out...
