They sling our marrow like it's fodder
Mortaring morticious brothers
We'll never get out of this place alive
If these walls, these walls keep closing in
Into practiced chains of blather
Bubbling a thick blood lather
Washboard ribs and broken cribs
These walls, these walls keep closing in
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Fear just fell from a loaded sleeve
Fluent in the tongue of greed
A master at the art of sleaze
Whose walls, whose walls are a fiendish
Grin of rotten desolation
Paranoid isolation
Fueling our blood-stained machines
The bells of freedom, liberty
The smell of gunshot, bittersweet
These walls, these walls keep closing in
Oh, where do we begin our dismantling?
We call on all to sing!
These walls keep closing in
Oh, where do we begin our dismantling?
We call on all to sing!
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Canisters of feigned dissent
They load our bodies into them
The prize, surprise, is eating at your eyes
And drawing down the shades
Made out of skin
It's kin eating kin
Cogs living in the burning city
When will this day ever end?
Will the words from within
Break down these walls?
Our fall
This wall!
Eyeballs plug the mouths like hoses
Scared of all the not-me noses
Poking into our daydreams, while in the distance glistening
That wall of bones that holds our tongues in
Scared of all the tastebud rows of
Hands that speak to you and me
The sign, "Rivolta Silenziosa"
These walls keep closing in
Oh, where do we begin our dismantling?
We call on all to sing!
These walls keep closing in
Oh, where do we begin our dismantling?
We call on all to sing!
