Icons Of Filth - Present and History lyrics

Your cord is cut Your arse is smacked We'll take the piss all your life We'll show you strife You don't know nothing sonny Jim If we have anything to do with it You never will We've got you brained we'll have you trained To crawl To k** Protected from the start Rejected with no heart Respect your elders We're your chain welders Protected from what? You're always in the dark Rejections what you've got Yet you still play your part You don't do what you want to You do what you're told to But of course you never realise you're not supposed to So now you're taught their morality, their law So you can't see they're stealing your feelings They need your acceptance to bury the lies They've fed your ears with those lies If you can't see this Then they've got your eyes You see? They do! You must listen all the time Obey & shut yours Otherwise they'll have you behind closed doors Fly their flag & sing their songs Protect their power by building bombs They have k**ed millions throughout the ages Do you turn a blind eye once again & once again pay the consequences Every time in the past when we've drunk their piss They've taken off their velvet glove...... & shown us their fist
