I'm an open wound   I can feel it in my gut   I lie face down in my excrement    And try to belly up   Unlike a fish    I can't swim against the tide   So I keep my head above water    And try to thumb a ride      {Chorus}:   Yet only the strong survive   And the weak shall fall   The rest will pray   To the likes of a concrete wall   Destroy the role that fits   Like a hand in a glove   And make war, not love      If I were a broken back    And you were a brace   Would you let me lay down and die here Or put me back in place   Like the lamb, too submissive and nice   You were easy prey for the wolf pack Who made you pay the price      {Chorus}
