As we move into '92 Still in a room without a view Whatsoever I've feared has come to life Whatsoever I've fought off became my life Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile Sunspots have faded and now I'm doing time Cause I fell on black days Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down Yes I know my enemies They're the teachers who taught me to fight me Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite All of which are American dreams With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E The finger to the land of the chains What? The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy? And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am a patriot So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below. And I laugh at myself As the tears roll down. 'Cause it's the world I know. I return to find an open door. Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son. I find my wife, I call the cops, this day's work's never done. The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun. It's the little things that kill Tearing at my brains again The little things that kill Sometimes I know, sometimes I rise. Sometimes I fall, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I cringe, sometimes I live. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I kneel. Sometimes I speak of nothing at all. Sometimes I reach to myself, dear god. I will stand arms outstretched. Pretend I'm free to roam. I will make my way through one more day in hell. How much difference does it make? I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind. I'll swallow poison until I grow immune. I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room. How much difference... How much difference does it make? Rape me Rape me my friend Rape me Rape me again Hate me Do it and do it again Waste me Rape me my friend The killer in me is the killer in you Send this smile over to you Cause I fell on black days How would I know that this could be my fate? Fear is not the end of this!
