Lyrics for Life on Your Knees
Christ died nailed to a cross (Life on your knees, get down on your knees) Now he's an icon to the spineless mass (Life on your knees, enforced reality) Bring your mind forth and submit (Life on your knees, stay down on your knees) Just let him take you away (Life on your knees, assume conformity) [Ch.] Welcome to the world of your mindless life Away from the reality of your lifeless mind He was no better than the rest of us Crucified for doing what was right to him And you'll do no better, we're all slaves Let go now, look within [Ch.] Break the chains on your mind Don't spend your life on your fucking knees The power is within yourself Take a hold of your life If you spend your life waiting for heaven You'll never get out of hell [Ch.]
