Taken by wheel, rail and heel
Brought here to die, or work in hell
Death from above, close your eyes
Seeds of disease, sown and grown
We fall

Sew up your mouth, try your friends
Nobody wants you in the end
Sew up your sins, sit dead still
Nobody loved you and no-one ever will
I know

Wave goodbye and never to be found
Walk away and never turn around

You'll soon see it through with liquor in you
You'll do what you do with anger in you

We were supposed to make a difference
To shorten the distance
Now the distance keeps us down
Cauterize lesions and learn from the loss
The force of completion is leaving us looking
For more and more and more

Seen all the pictures and heard all the laughter
But still I don't really belong
Close to calling
All that I have are these kids and these books
And it won't take me long to pack up
Building justice on these
Threadbare clothes of mine

Sew up your mouth, try your friends
Somebody loves you in the end
Sew up your sins, sit dead still
Somebody loves you and someone always will
You know.
