Inferiority Complex Lyrics

There's a spot in the sky if you look up high

That's not as blue as the rest

The asphalt here is blacker than there if you put it to the test

The steel beams, the concrete streams are really Plasticine

The grass is browner on the other side

Because over here it's green

The red brick wall is thick and tall if you're on the inside

To a prisoner the window's small

But the breeze blows strong and wide

The sun shines brighter in the night than it does in the day

The people's minds are not as bright but who cares anyway

When I close my eyes, I close my mind

Because you never know quite what you'll find

Your deepest fears escape and unwind

When my calloused eyes are closed they're blind

There's a big wall here and a big wall there

But nothing in between

I've been told I'm small and nothing at all

By men not big nor mean

These masters always I respect

Their will I will obey

And if their will is not my will

I in their swill will lay

And the rats keep gnawing, gnawing on my mind

Like that familiar similarity

Between a chuckle and a sob

It goes on

This drilling pain replaces all my doubts and all my fears

It goes on

Through these times of trial and tribulation

I can still taste the tears

The grinning mobs of pleasure are replaced by this haze

The grays and blacks but never whites

Are the beginning of my phase

It goes on

Everything I pick up is never quite the same

I keep on playing my simple silly games

Take a look at reality just to jest and just to tease

Don't forget your manners, please

I can feel their teeth digging in my brain

Try to laugh, try to smile, try to see the sane

Break through another layer just to play the game

Close your eyes, squeeze them tight

Never again, never again

Trial to the bone, this frail soul

Your future sin will make you whole

Betraying truth and trust, personal disgust

You will crown him

Scowl at the sun, my special one

Your twisted brain has come undone

Fallen, screaming, overcome with lust

Mental holocaust, you will bow

Up high in your toxic cloud

You're flying high in your linen shroud

Stick your nose a little higher in the acid rain

Feel the deformed earth in your deformed brain

Close your eyes and say you're dreaming.. It never ends

In this ancient charade, It's all pretend

Fathering and birth control

Trying hard to push and pull

Not to talk with your mouth full

Crying hard to save your soul

Eyes of gray and hearts of steel

Fingertips and cold hard heels

Fighting without confidence

Skin cuts from the wire fence

A gunshot sounds off in the night

a squeal of death, a plea for life

And if you make it out alive

There's booby traps and hidden mines

A bit of blood, a sacrifice

The crooked cross flies from the skies

And if your will is not device

Then racial hatred is the knife

With twisting doorknobs, pounding fists

Broken needles in their crypts

Jackboots pounding rhythmic riffs

The hope and glory starts to drift

When families are torn apart

A nail pounds into your heart

Civil revolutions start

Forced conscription fills it's part

While glowing flares high in the sky

Will all your worries satisfy

Great President starts to lie

The conquered try the truth defy

Their bodies nailed to a cross

Left for the night to soothe the loss

Where shining armor used to stand

Now filthy wasteland shakes it's hand

There's a spot in the sky if you look up high

That's not a blue as the rest

The asphalt here is blacker than there

If you put it to the test

The steel beams, the concrete streams

Are really Plasticine

The grass is browner on the other side

Because over here it's green
