Time Is Money (Bastard) Lyrics

Your body is private.
Your mind is sacred.
You should be violated.
You should be violated.
You should raped.
You should be... raped.
I need you.
I need you.
I want them to do this to you.
I want them to do this to you.
Bastard.

Tear it down.
Tear it down.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Break it.
Break it.
Break it.
Break it.
Lacerate it.
Lacerate it.
Lacerate it.
Lacerate it.
And you suck it.
And you suck it.
Suck it.
Suck it.
Suck it
Suck it.

Someone less privileged then you should use you.
Someone weaker then you should rape you.
You should be violated.
You should be violated.
You should be raped.
You should be raped.
You should be raped.
You should be raped.
Don't fight back.
Don't fight back.
I need you.
Don't fight back.
Don't fight back.
I want them to do this to you.
Bastard.
I want them to do this to you.
Bastard.
Tear it down.
Tear it down.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Break it.
Break it.

Cover art for Time Is Money (Bastard) lyrics by Swans

I, as submit...er...thingy... must give an analysis.

Let's say you have a mean oppressive boss. They tyrannize you, tell you "time is money" and force you to work extra hours. They harass you. Perhaps if they're male they've narrowly avoided lawsuits about "misconduct". So, naturally, you snap. You bring some psycho friends, put him at gunpoint, strip him, and duct-tape him to a chair. Total power reversal. Or, at least you imagine it. If so, this piece of dancey, morbid industrial will purge you of all homocidal impulses if you are of at least mildly sane. If not, this will just motivate you.

Awesome, speedy, vicious cousin to the slow grinds "Money is Flesh" and "A Screw (Holy Money)".
