Dark and light, night and day
Black and white, love and hate
It don't make no difference to him
Death and life, war and peace
Left and right, king or thief
It don't make no difference to him
King of Thieves, I want just one more taste
Of your opiate embrace
Before the night turns into day
Hold on, hold on
I can't just give myself away
Tempting though as it may be
If you'd wait for just one second
Before you pounce back onto me
I could see you for a thief
So hold on, hold on
Radical, totalitarian eye
Humanitarian disguise
For one like you it's no surprise
Radical, the twisting of the mind
The melting down of all mankind
To a commodity refined
Hold on, hold on
We won't just give ourselves to you
Not after all we've been through
If you'd wait for just one second
Get your drooling jowls away!
After that, fire away
We lost, we fight each other's needs
Objectifying you or me
We're all commodities, you see
So sell me happiness and sell me money
Sell me beauty, milk and honey
Sell me til I need no more
Brother, sister, tell me how it feels
To be crushed under your own heel
Blood won't wash out, blood won't wash out
And it goes on and on til time feels useless
On and on til time feels stupid
On and on, it feels so slow
Hold on, hold on
I'm one of you, I am no thief
So calm yourself and trust in me
If you'd think for only a second
You'll see we're one and the same
So follow me and fire away
Fire away, fire away
Just give them some more
Fire away, fire away
