Public Bodies

Does the average man feel like he’s on the outside?
I’ve got a friend who said he’d kill to taste the high life
At the church, they kicked us out 'cause we were useless
But we were trying, just looking for something to reach us
Eight more days in this goddamn place and I’m leaving
When I say I’m in pain, they don’t believe it
All these bodies 'round here seem to be aging too fast
If you want your independence, then you trade your health for cash
I’m afraid of everything that’s passed
All these bodies 'round here have been spat out the machine
Smoke on lungs and gas stations, spit fire by the sea
And everyone’s saying I’m a little bit sick, but I’m just thinking of you
Like I do
Does the average man fall down talking to strangers?
I’ve got a friend who said he lives to taste the danger
Lying on the bed, mama, kiss my head, they’re gonna take me away from here
All these bodies 'round here seem to be aging too fast
If you want your independence, then you trade your health for cash
I’m afraid of everything that’s passed
All these bodies 'round here have been spat out the machine
Smoke on lungs and gas stations, spit fire by the sea
And everyone’s saying I’m a little bit sick, but I’m just thinking of you
Like I do
Let her be her mother’s only daughter
Let her put her head under the water
Let her sweat the sickness off her palms
Let her take the jewelry off her arms
Let her be her mother’s only daughter (Let her sweat the sickness off her palms)
Let her put her head under the water (Let her take the jewelry off her arms)
Let her sweat the sickness off her palms (Let her be her mother’s only daughter)
Let her take the jewelry off her arms
