Ripe For The Breaking Lyrics
...you weren't born with the world
falling at your feet -
The path is long and agonizing
being dragged on your knees.
...and the silver spoon in your mouth
tastes spoilt with rust.
When all that glitters isn't gold
and fortunes turn to dust.
You're prime for the raping.
And when you don't pander
to meet the agenda,
scavengers
start to gather.
Perverse visionaries taste the lather ;
the just rewards in controlled rebellion.
Tossed and probed like
a gristly piece of meat,
lock, stock, and barrel slave.
You just don't
contradict Big Brother ;
he's got the right to push you under.
...and they pledge you the earth,
then pull you six feet down.
And you're branded with the stigma ;
unusable dropouts.
...and with inspiration ravaged,
you take the final bow,
The creative demeanor
shattered into a million pieces.
You're ripe for the breaking.
falling at your feet -
being dragged on your knees.
tastes spoilt with rust.
and fortunes turn to dust.
to meet the agenda,
scavengers
start to gather.
Perverse visionaries taste the lather ;
the just rewards in controlled rebellion.
a gristly piece of meat,
lock, stock, and barrel slave.
You just don't
contradict Big Brother ;
he's got the right to push you under.
then pull you six feet down.
unusable dropouts.
you take the final bow,
shattered into a million pieces.
