Separated at a blood-filled birth
Not to spend a day on earth
Separated in the womb
Conceived and murdered in my tomb
You didn’t want me, sealed my doom
I am not alone
There was a joy in my heart you could never know
Your life is not your own
I don’t want you to be confused about that
You may taste me on your lips
You may feel me cover your face
You may swallow me whole
You may derive life from my death
Could I be your saviour yet?
Can you see me in your dreams?
Can you hear me in the streets?
Does the noise of the world drown me out?
Do the tablets make me fade away?
A snappy slogan and clap your hands
In the end there are no magic wands
And so you carry on with life
Your soul harvested by men in suits
Sold a dream, a life of the free
Panacea for every disease
Did you know that that was me?
When you look back at the very end
When every word flashes up again
I know I could have been your friend
I want you to be clear about that
Spare a thought for this poor lamb
In a world that does not give a damn
Stay amused, state-sanctioned scam
And it won’t be long til it’s your turn
To be ripped apart before you burn
