Here Under Protest

from Godless by Screaming Mad Dee

/

lyrics

Don’t want to be here – don’t want to stay here
I want to be off on my motherfucking way
Don’t want to live here – sure don’t want to die here
But I am here because there’s more hell left to pay
What have I got here – I’m gonna rot here
Meat and gristle slides completely off the bone
A contemplation of the situation
Retaliate against the things I can’t condone

Here under duress – here under protest
Eyes of the dying staring blankly up at me
Corruption binges – while the syringes
Cake with blood from veins that fuel the parody
Brothers and sisters riddled with blisters
Walk the mile to find redemption every day
The mothers crying – the children dying
The lost solution hangs in space so far away

Don’t want to be here – how I want to leave here
Want to eradicate what eats away my soul
I can’t conceive it – or disbelieve it
But must defeat it before it assumes control
Lying continues – a promise untrue
A false assurance of a savior looking on
A resignation to the situation
Here under protest until all of us are gone
