SABERTOOTH ZOMBIE LYRICS

1. The Prisoner

I am the prisoner
I have been caught
Creature of habit
Patterns of thought
My mind flight light and dark like a television tube
Need now kids and quick-draw wallets
My mind flicks light and dark like a television tube
Believe be kids we’ve been abused
Institutions brought be up straight and narrow
A dark tower to my grave
I think in their thoughts
I am the slave
Give me something more

2. Hyber Nation

Yellow ribbons and gold teach and black lung and octane
Fell asleep on sunbeams
Woke up in a deep freeze
Who needs direction, when you got rejection
Who needs reflection, with this inspection
Another month of sitting alone
While the American dream has sex in the yard
The good thing about sitting at home
Is you never have to lay down your guard
As your Venezuelan maid’s back is turned
Speak amongst yourselves as to not be heard
God bless the walls against immigration
God bless the doors of this hyber na-tion.

3. Panacea

God is the son of freedom
In search for the panacea
His only wage for this occupation
Is a brooding self-hatred
Evil is the son of the earth
Buried six feet deep
The mysteries of life
Trapped in cata-combs of sleep.

4. Glad Handed

They lie through their teeth
Bear their hooks
Explain mundane in twisted speech
The mus-ings of crooks
A trained army of carnies
That misuse their ruse
Selling sex and selling death
To rethink love and replace rest
What happened to you?
Your inner-futurist masturbated
Shake hands with your tool
To feed this slut of a world
Purge the filth
Cook supper in bleach
Hoard the whores aboard
The in-flight ministry of speech

5. The House Of The Rising Sun

[originally by The Animals]

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun
