You're going to do what I say And say what I say You stretch your peacock feathers You're always on display Don't act so goddamned conflicted You wouldn't have it any other way
You're going to write down these words And pass them along You're going to fill your book With your rights and wrongs You're going to tell your lurid world The true intentions of these songs
I'm writing out a confession Every record I've written has left me smitten A career in masturbation All in all we're pawns The ego of mankind stirs in us all
You want to wipe that slate And start all over again You want to hide your face In shame of what your grandpappy did Pretty soon here we'll all be grandfathers And our offspring will sing the same shit
The world was built on ego It was built on slaves The world was built on a tickle Between our legs Come on, you big strong man You wouldn't have it any other way
I'm writing out a confession My fathers and brothers Raped your sisters and mothers We are the sons of butchers All in all we're pawns The darkness of mankind stirs in us all
I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out I cast you out
I'll drag you out I'll drive you out I'll drug you out I'll tear you out I'll cut you out I'll kick you out I'll push you out I'll pull you out I cast you out I'll curse you out I'll shut you out I'll shit you out I'll clean you out Grab a rope and hang you out to dry Now I'll damn you out I cast you out I'll shove you out I'm staying All in all we're pawns The darkness of mankind stirs in us all
