Welcoming Party / This Is System



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
