Harem Scarem - The Paint Thins lyrics

(Hess/Lesperance)

Rage, your involuntary martyr

Caged by the conscience and the throne

Gotta fight for what you need

But be careful what you breathe

Staged by the puppets and the trolls

Fame for the power hungry mongers

Enslaved by the towers made of stone

Will the Virgin Mary grieve

For the parting of the sleaze

Insane in every sense of the word

A pending haze on this trite sinned world

Wait til we lay still

Dare we stray to this right wing world

We gave in - the paint thins

Claims to a sacreligious other

They dangle the carrot in front of me

And the acid burns the keys

To the doors that house the weak

Only saved by exile to kingdom come
