You Will Never Take Me Alive
[Verse 1]
Let's hear it for circuits, lines drawn in the earth
Cut to scramble for ample
Little mouse hole to park your new car
And chew off our arms
With teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
Three cheers for the backseats
Your legs pinned, that look in your eye...
"You'll never take me alive"
[Refrain]
This is what you are
You are what you are
[Verse 2]
Let's hear it for mirrors
With a ghost image clearer
Hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone...
This little piggy had none
'Cause God hates our country
She told me She wants me to sing out He's female
Three cheers for the gal in the sky
You'll never take me alive
[Refrain]
This is what you are
You are what you are
This is what you are
[Chorus]
Do you know what it means to be doomed?
Do you know what it means to be cursed?
When the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
You know they're hiding bodies north
Did you know that we're sinking knee-deep?
Did you nail down what you plan to keep?
When the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore
You are done for, done for, done for
[Verse 3]
The caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
The graveyard is littered with lumps who thought there was no doubt
The world could not live without
[Refrain]
This is what you are
You are what you are
This is what you are
[Bridge]
And if I live through the day when the comet does come
I will right every wrong down my list, one by one:
Sharpen the axe
Stomp the flames out on backs
I will be who you want me to be
I will be who you want me to be
[Chorus]
Do you know what it means to be doomed?
Do you know what it means to be cursed?
When the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
You know they're hiding bodies north
Did you know that your boot heels are stuck?
Losing feet weren't the rabbit's good luck
When the devil is resting his head on your door
You are done for, done for, done for
You are done for, done for, done for
[Post-Chorus]
Did you know that you nurse a beehive?
Come and get it! Come take me alive
All our noses are aiming at grisly frontiers
We will show this cruel world...
We will show this cruel world we were here
There's a lot of safe areas in this world...
