It's a Torture World

somebody changed the locks
somebody took the keys
somebody took a hammer to his face
brought him to his knees

that one there is a doctor's doctor
writing notes for a seminar
on the table a man is screaming
all that's missing is an air guitar

i remember the cosmic rivers
rainbow trout in the milky way
toss your line in, wait awhile
we will gut you the american way

(chorus)
wear a helmet, get an airbag
gotta give lip to my metal girl
bulletproof vest in a hail bullet buffet
book 'em, dano, it's a torture world

(yelled)
tell us something
we want to hear
c'mon baby
loud and clear
fuck you up
fuck you down
tell us what we want
before you drown
gotta give lip to my metal girl
book 'em, dano, it's a torture world

somebody ate all of the strawberries
somebody ate a whole damn plate
somebody knows a dirty little something
put in the hooks, we're out of bait

where is the garden of the holy ones
where is the heaven we seek in dreams
where is the child we sacrificed
nailed to a cross for the good of the team

(chorus)
wear a helmet, get an airbag
gotta give lip to my metal girl
bulletproof vest in a hail bullet buffet
book 'em, dano, it's a torture world

(yelled)
tell us something
we want to hear
c'mon baby
loud and clear
fuck you up
fuck you down
tell us what we want
before you drown
gotta give lip to my metal girl
book 'em, dano, it's a torture world
