Vampires

[Slug] I do believe in monsters, I call them officers I know enough to know to keep an eye on how I talk to them Some of ya'll are peace, but even one two many Is still a decent number for the breeding of a beast With no release, she keeps and teaches no remorse More resembling of a thief than a horse Plans long range, attached to some fangs And an arm that's strong, watch the song when they change Nothing's strange, cause you know before you saw it It's all the same, there ain't no such thing as flawless But all I want is a little more security A little more safety, a lot less uncertainty Override the circuitry, the sun is your god(?) Recognize the urgency, uncover your eyes When I turn on the lights, she vanishes, hides But I can feel here essence in the air Acknowledge the night stalker and regard her as a hunter Count the amount she takes from the slumber Summer ain't as hot as you would think Martyr(?) the child that wears the target for the teeth to sink [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Slug] She lurks in the alleys with the wrong reality Allegiance, honor, keep it all in the family Consumes the young, blind, deaf, and the dumb Drains the vein and puts them under the thumb She's on the television, celebrate status quo Energy, push mute on the remote control Break the beats, shatter the measure to pieces All I've left is the breath and the will to prove the thesis It's difficult to figure out who to fear Gettin' older by the minute, younger by the year Will the hunger disappear, metabolism slow World domination is the goal Now let's gather the kids, and take em' out to the sticks Teach em' all how to live, come take my hand and walk with me Before the vampires lock down the Twin Cities [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Slug] Through the mud of the evening she trudges The name, the blood is tainted with traces of loveless From up above, truth watches in bewilderment Contemplating how he really isn't feeling it Just another chapter of another moving picture Another after thought looking for a new elixir But if she goes even when she has to climb Out the window, out of sight, out of mind Look out for me below because I've never been on top of nothin' Other than a stove inside a pot of water bubblin' And boilin' between a puzzle and poison Two games in the same toy bin But when my times comes you better beat the drums And aim the guns at the ones that eat the young If we let her, she'll do whatever it takes to survive You don't stop till you take her life [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This country's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This city's a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge [Little Girl's Voice] I don't want to to go (???) And she's really ugly Check the orphanage... [Chorus] This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge This world is a vampire, she eats her kids Let's hide the bodies under the bridge All of ya'll are vampires, you eat your kids
