Run, run, run to your grave
Run, run, run to your grave
Run, oh, run, run to your grave
Run, oh, run, run to your grave
Cause they're coming for your brain but
They will leave with your head
And they've got money and science
And they will leave you for dead
Sleep, sleep, sleep in your tomb
Sleep, oh, sleep, sleep in your tomb
Don't bury your body with your diamonds
Cause you know they'll dig up your grave
And don't hold on to your riches
Cause when you die, you're a slave
And emotion is a simple test to the synapse
Don't let it fool you into thinking that you've got brains
And the more you feel, the more you will take with you
So cut the flesh and let your blood flow to the drain
You've got to
Tear, burn, soil the flesh
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest
Run, run, run to your grave
Run, oh, run, run to your grave
Run, oh, run, run to your grave
Cause they're coming for your brain but
They will leave with your head
And they've got money and science
And they will leave you for dead
Sleep, sleep, sleep in your tomb
Sleep, oh, sleep, sleep in your tomb
Don't bury your body with your diamonds
Cause you know they'll dig up your grave
And don't hold on to your riches
Cause when you die, you're a slave
And emotion is a simple test to the synapse
Don't let it fool you into thinking that you've got brains
And the more you feel, the more you will take with you
So cut the flesh and let your blood flow to the drain
You've got to
Tear, burn, soil the flesh
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest
Scream, cry, pray, confess
God will do the rest

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I couldn't disagree more. The song is suggesting we commit suicide "cut the flesh and let the blood flow into the drain" so God can take care of the rest. The song extrapolates a sarcastic criticism of religion. I thought that much was obvious.
"Cause when you die you are a slave"
This fits far more with the tone of the rest of the album. It's not a "feel good" song at all, despite the upbeat instrumentals.
I'm not sure how one gets a critique of religion out of "And they've got money and science / And they will leave you for dead" -- taking the lyrics completely at face value leaves you with a contradictory proposition at best.<br /> <br /> To me the whole thing is a battle cry against the normalized desires of consumer modernity ("Don't bury your body with your diamonds") alongside an explicit embrace of mortality and the weaknesses thereto. You can stretch that to suicide if you' wish, but instead I see a message that's stoic ("the more you feel, the more you will take with you"), ascetic individualism -- freedom comes from the crucible of mortal discomfort.<br /> <br /> It's sorta like a heavily caffeinated Buddhism -- not exactly upbeat if you like going into Ikea, but hardly suicidal.
haha - "ikea"<br /> <br /> I agree with buecadet3 tho that this song criticises religion, partly because the song is in the same vein as the rest of the album, which depicts religion (specifically christianity) as a social mechanism without underlying truth. Also the closing two verses mock the belief that god will take care of all the difficult issues; all you need to do is "tear, burn, soil the flesh" and "scream, cry, pray, confess".
@BlueCadetThree Don't quote me on this. This is not a rebuttal or anything, I just want to point out that the whole album is built around the old testament. These lyrics could have been a "rehash" of what originally was said in one of the books. But I understand where your coming from. A lot of modern songs like to influence suicide, which in its own way, is wrong.
