Lyrics for We Prick You

White boys falling on the fires of night (I wish you'd tell, I wish you'd tell) Flesh punks burning in their glue Revolution comes in the strangest way (I wish you'd tell, I wish you'd tell) I'd rather be inside you Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you You show respect even if you disagree You show respect You show respect even if you disagree You show respect Mama can I kiss you daddy can I tell (We wish you well, we wish you well) Innocence passed me by Wanna be screwing when the nightmare comes (I wish you well, I wish you well) Wanna come quick and die Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you All the little rose-kissed foxy girls Shoes, shoes, little white shoes Where have all the flowers gone All the little fragile champion boys Toys, toys, little black toys Dripping on the end of a gun Even if you disagree Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you Tell the truth Tell the truth Tell the truth We prick you we prick you we prick you You show respect even if you disagree You show respect You show respect even if you disagree You show respect Shoes, shoes, little white shoes (Even if you disagree, even if you disagree) Toys, toys, little black toys Wish you well, wish you well Shoes, shoes, little white shoes Wish you well, wish you well
