They tied his arms behind his back   To teach him how to swim   They put blood in his coffee   And milk in his gin   They stood over the soldier   In the midst of the squalor   There was war in his body   And it caused his brain to holler      Make the sacrifice   Mutilate my face   If you need someone to kill   I'm a man without a will   Wash the razor in the rain   Let me luxuriate in pain   Please don't set me free   Death means a lot to me      The pain was lean and it made him scream   He knew he was alive   He put a pin through the nipples on his chest   He thought he was a saint   I've made love to my mother, killed my father and brother   What am I to do   When a sin goes too far, it's like a runaway car   It cannot be controlled      Spit upon his face and scream   There's no oedipus today   This is no play you're thinking you are in   What will you say   Take the blue mask down from my face   And look me in the eye   I get a thrill from punishment   I've always been that way      I loathe and despise repentance   You are permanently stained   Your weakness buys indifference   And indiscretion in the streets   Dirty's what you are and clean is what you're not   You deserve to be soundly beat      Make the sacrifice   Take it all the way   There's no "won't" high enough   To stop this desperate day   Don't take death away   Cut the finger at the joint   Cut the stallion at his mount   And stuff it in his mouth
