Be lucky you've got the mind enough to
Take a look now and stop and think
Not trudge through life with boots of lead
Living for eat, sleep and drink
It's like a sense of instinct restless and aware
So little satisfies, yet there's so much there
It's like a vision baby of how you'd love to be
But the pain in your stomach, ain't on TV
Here we are in Lifer City
Here we are in another f*****' city
Animals with machines from steel to dust
Thoughts stored in special vials
Drained from a brain before it rots away
Electro, techno, super power
Steel set in the mud and clay
It ain't gettin' no better and it will get worse
Understanding life today - maybe death ain't no curse
It's a rat race and you're in the trap
You're a Lifer, yeah what can you say?
