Vio-lence - Welcoming Party / This Is System lyrics

This is system for your life we exist We'll take your mind and violently twist into A shape so desperate you'll make us your life And like your mother we will hold you so tight And we'll grow off our pain constant aggression. We're sedatives for your alteration We'll drag you down for the rest of your life And then the system succeeds The day you have died THIS IS SYSTEM We welcome you child and we open our arms of greetings We'll treat you just right and we'll change you inside and you'll see That it's so necessary for you to accept Or we'll strap you down 'til we gain your respect You'll see it our way and you'll never question what we say See me I am crying through eyes of pain! Cold hearted system I cannot escape! Much more comfortable now, much more relaxed, just slightly sedated And when the lights go out, you will recall the pain that you've faded And in the blackened pitch you hear the other guests screaming And you can feel the horror of their hated dreams We'll strap you down tight Shocking your mind for screaming You poor child with pain in your eyes We never hear you cry We'd like to think that you are someone's mistake And so we lock you away There's got to be some kind of end A way out from under this horror Something out there beyond the pain That welcomes with comfort We'll let you go this time and it's your mistake You will miss our hate and desire our pain And you will be back Because they will not understand you You feared man with the hate in your eyes Looks like you don't mind dying We'd like to think that you're a social mistake And so we lock you away
