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--
--into practiced chains of blather
Bubbling a thick blood lather
Washboard ribs and broken cribs
These walls, these walls keep closing in
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Na nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
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 free-dumb 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!
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Na nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
Nana na na na na
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 taste bud 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!
