lyrics

Thought I was free
From mindless scandalous talk
I was never immune
No matter where I walked
I had an ear to the ground
Was that abuse that I heard?
I thought I was free, but
I was starting to destroy myself

My people, oh my people
You have defamed me
Oh my people, yes my people
Rick Nixon phoned me
My people, oh my people
You have deserted me
Oh my people, yes my people
Joe Stalin wrote to me

It entered my mind
My rotting, decaying mind
Every avenue turned
Every sinew burned
So how can I can tell?
Was it because they fumed
With their minds struck dumb?
I was starting to betray myself

My people, oh my people
You have defamed me
Oh my people, yes my people
Rick Nixon phoned me
My people, oh my people (Tick tock tick tock, Any minute headlock)
You have deserted me (Backtrack feedback, Double barrel … attack)
Oh my people, yes my people (You're gonna take me down, You're gonna take me down)
Joe Stalin wrote to me (Down, down, down)

Oh what's charisma?
What's personality too?
I was always thinking of
What the hell were you, doing
You called yourself friend
But never breathed a word
Of the time we might have
I was starting to despise myself

My people, oh my people
You have defamed me
Oh my people, yes my people
Rick Nixon phoned me
My people, oh my people (Tick tock tick tock, Any minute headlock)
You have deserted me (Backtrack feedback, Double barrel … attack)
Oh my people, yes my people (You're gonna take me down, You're gonna take me down)
Joe Stalin wrote to me (Down, down, down)

Every avenue turned
Every sinew burned, burned
Every avenue turned
Every sinew burned, burned
Every avenue turned
Every sinew burned, burned
Every avenue turned
Every sinew burned, burned
