lyrics
Extradite your loneliness
The parasites will have a fit
Raging in their impotence
Their home is on the fire
Had enough of emptiness
Arid soil and worn out bits
Tissy fits and abstinence and hanging on a wire
Who made you smile?
Who made you mild
And calm enough to get a night's sleep
And remember your dreams?
Once there was a bitter pill
A soiled rag to fit the bill
The withered shill's been ousted still
Exposed unto the sun's light
The aptitude to pick a fight has vanished in the hurried night
Entitlements were burned at stake
Your gentle side awakes
Who made you mild?
Who made you mild?
Who made you mild?
And calm enough to get a night's sleep
And remember your dreams
And deliver your speech
Bring your peace within reach?
And you're always a peach
Always mind what you've preached
Always get a night's sleep
And remember your dreams
