ALICE COOPER - BRUTAL PLANET lyrics

rate me

We're spinning round on this ball of hate

There's no parole, there's no great escape

We're sentenced here until the end of days

And then my brother there's a price to pay

We're only human, we were born to die

Without the benefit of reason why

We live for pleasure - to be satisfied

And now it's over there's no place to hide

Why don't you, come down to

It's such a brutal planet

It's such an ugly world

Why won't you, come down to

"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)

"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)

"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)

"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)

It's such a brutal planet

It's such a living hell

It was a holy garden

That's right where Adam fell

It's where the bite was taken

It's where we chose to sin

It's where we first were naked

This is where our death begins

We took advice from that deceiving snake

He said don't worry it's a piece of cake

And sent us swimming in a burning lake

Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake

Why don't you, come down to

It's such a brutal planet

It's such an ugly world

Why won't you, come down to

"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)

"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)

"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)

"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)

Here's where we keep the armies

Here's where we write their names

Here's where our money got us

Here's our famous hall of shame

Here's where we starve the hungry

Here's where we cheat the poor

Here's where we beat the children

Here is where we pay the whore

Why don't you, come down to

It's such a brutal planet

It's such an ugly world

Why won't you, come down to

"This world is such perfection" (What a sight)

"It's just like paradise" (For my eyes)

"A truly grand creation" (What a sight)

"From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes)

Right here we stoned the prophets

Built idols out of mud

Right here we fed the lions

Christian flesh and Christian blood

here's where we hung our savior

Upon an ugly cross

Over there we filled the ovens

Right here the holocaust
