Inside the walls I've made
To keep out all who reach for me
I might have lost my way
And I can't come out again
Don't come around here anymore
You may infect yourself
Don't ever cross this line
You could see monsters in your mind
There just like me
Have I erased all sense of touch
I don't feel anything
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
Most dreams, they're black and white
But I must color mine
Each day's another end
Less night of screaming
Shouting at the outside
Someone let me in
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Stop the water, bags of sand
Institutional man
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Lock the cages, tie my hands
Institutional, institutional man
Please, please, make love freeze
And break apart in the middle (of it)???
Then they could see the hate
When they separate
And taste the salt of their tears
No, no, it's all about experience
Control, you might as well be wood, no good
Why why, your questions die
In a shout and no attention
You might have said
That they both were dead
So put the puzzle away
But no, it's all about experience
Control, they're gonna give you none, no fun
Don't tell the kids, they'll never understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time, no
Get back, it's a heart attack
And the planet needs a doctor
We can tell it looks like hell
But they make us close our eyes
No, it's all about experience
And control, you might as well be stone, alone
Don't tell the kids, they'll never understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time, yeah
Don't tell the kids, they'll never get the picture
Don't tell the kids, you waste your time, yeah
Don't tell the kids, they just don't understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time, time
Talk to the animals
Anyone who'll answer
Any fool will do
Just don't tell the kids
Hey liar, tell me your intentions are good
Knowing it could be a lie
I see how you rise
To question the eyes of anyone who promises pain
Contagious, something like a virus of love
Making the pleasure seem real
Another killing by the villain
Another body on the ground
Here comes the master of destruction again
I knew you from the start
Hunter of the heart
Cat crazy, never the predictable one
Asleep in the sun now the strike
Possession today, then send it away
After all the joys in the taking
Another beating by the villain
Another angel fallen down
Here comes the master of destruction again
Perfect for the part
Hunter of the heart
Another burning by the devil
And another diamond turned to glass
Here comes the master of destruction again
I knew you from the start
Hunter of the heart
Hunter of the heart
All you see down there
Could be yours for the taking
All your heart's desired
Would be yours but you don't want it
You don't want it
You keep telling me
Stay out of my mind
Stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind
Stay out of my mind, yeah
What do you want from life
What do you keep living for
Is it worth the price
It'll cost you nothing
But you won't take it
You won't take it
You keep telling me
Stay out of my mind
Stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind
Stay out of my mind
Stay out of my mind
Stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind
Stay out of my mind
Once upon a high
The streets were gold and blue was
In the sky riders gone
Never could belong
Maybe you still can dream
Sleep through screams
While we're dying in America
Once upon a child
The carnival would stop and stay a-
While you were gone
Everything went wrong
Too soon, cartoon
Dying in America
Dying in America
In places where aces outnumber the queens
Jack is afraid of tomorrow
Colors are changing to red, white and green
As we all fall down
Once upon a hate
They told us they could fix it if we'd
Wait for awhile
Killing you with smiles
Maybe you still can dream
Sleep through screams
While we're dying in America
Dying in America
Sex, sex, sex
Even bigger, even better
Don't lose out, be a winner
Save more, save time and save now
One hundred thirty per cent American people
Would like to be like everyone else
