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
