Eat The Children Lyrics
Otep
Lyrics
Hush little baby
Don't make a sound
Hush little baby
Don't make a move
This is gonna hurt
Me more than you
(blood)
If I'm a danger to myself
Just think what I would do to you…
Twisting & turning
My insides are burning
Like larva feeding from the kill
The pestilence of decadence
I worship my emptiness
I'm ravaged by the damages of this hell
Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
It's easy to beat
These worms to sleep
Operators are standing by
Some restrictions may apply
Side effects could include
We'll steal the life right out of you
Descending, unending
& still I'm pretending
I've regressed to become one of them
They gave me this affliction
I yield to my addiction
I can't repress myself
Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
It's easy to beat
These worms to sleep
Operators are standing by
Some restrictions may apply
Side effects could include
We'll steal the life right out of you
(blood)
If I'm a danger to myself
Just think what I could do to you…
Role model number one
Taught you how to shave
Role model number two
Took you to the PTA
They tell us how to dress
& teach us to obey
But they never heard a word
That you had to say
For shame.
For shame.
‘cause I am vermin
I'm the anti-christ
Just another lonely chapter
In the book of lies
Don't they know that they are the prey?
Don't they know they are the prey?
Don't they know that they are the prey?
Don't they know they are the prey?
Don't they know I'm a predator
Don't they know they are the prey
Don't they know I'm a predator
Don't they know I'm insane? Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
Eat the children raw
It's easy to beat
These worms to sleep
Operators are standing by
Some restrictions may apply
Follow this simple rule
Do it to them before they do it to you
(blood)
