lyrics
Specimen Case Christ
(S. Bell & L. Brownrigg)
You, yes you
You’re important to us, to me
You, yes you
Can’t you feel the excitement within?
We’ve been waiting contemplating what you can do for us
We’ve been waiting contemplating what you can do for us
(Chorus)
Halleluiah
Debase, degrade, distort, display
Halleluiah
You are absolved
Halleluiah
Debase, degrade, distort, display
Halleluiah
Of the self you know
You, yes you
Stretched out in familiar pose
You, yes you
Encapsulated in wired electrodes
Now, yes now
Erased, a blank sheet spread thin
Now, yes now
Did you think it would come to this?
We’ll exploit you, change you, destroy you until all that’s left
Is a hollowed, embittered and callous effigy of ourselves
(Chorus)
And here it goes
And I don’t have the strength
And I don’t have the heart
And I don’t have the faith to carry on
Just stand and smile and wave
And we’ll return your crown
Always it’s what you’ve yearned
Admit it to yourself
And wave.
