Lyrics for A Decent Man

In a world of shit and I'm a pile of it Without a fucking drink I'm reminded of it Take another shot before the feeling sets in Going 95 on the death drive Gonna be a gremlin till the day I die Waiting for a bullet or a falling sky I'm just another casualty Fuel for the beast of property Lived my whole life as a fool Don't be another casualty Become the beast you wanna be I know the end is coming soon The severed head of a pacifist The seven heads of the apocalypse The seven sins are in my pocket It's living the life of a basilisk Need to escape I need a Pegasus My hatred grows inside a chrysalis I'm just another casualty Fuel for the beast of property Lived my whole life as a fool Don't be another casualty Become the beast you wanna be I know the end is coming soon Blocking reason like a precipice Fuck mother earth just like we're Oedipus Be a heathen fuck Leviticus I think about my face and the pavement A match made in my own mental-haven A dog in the street no one will save me I'm just another casualty Fuel for the beast of property Lived my whole life as a fool Don't be another casualty Become the beast you wanna be I know the end is coming soon The bomb is armed My hands are tied And so are yours (Cutting through my bone with Scissors, cutting off three of my fingers) The clock is ticking I'm not afraid I'm gonna die today Cutting through my bone with Scissors, cutting off three of my fingers I was a decent man I'm on a descent, man I was a decent man Just trying to be something I was a decent man I'm on a descent, man I was a decent man Just trying to be something Bark like a dog Bark like a leader Get on your knees Beg like you need it Beg like a dog Beg like a leader You're just a man Fuck like you mean it Violent night it's just a I was a decent man I'm on a descent, man I was a decent man Just trying to be something I was a decent man Just trying to be something I was a decent man Just trying to be something Violent night it's just a I was a secret man, never been decent man Look at me now
