Текст песни
Look into my eyes
You’ll see cold steel arise
The groan of great cities
It forged this hard disguise
In a world of dust and grime
On billboards all the time
We forgot the slime
That’s on our hands
Blood of innocents who fell
In some war, who can tell?
Once there was a paradise
On this land, no surprise
People never heard the blast
Of nuclear war at last
Every family had a place
A home — a safe embrace
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?
It will destroy you
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?!
It’s gonna
KILL YOU
Kill you
No monsters were born
No minds went forlorn
They wrote on the walls
He She — that’s all
No muzzles were aimed
By dark swords inflamed
At wives, at mothers
Elders and brothers
Ideas weren’t burned
Free minds weren’t turned
We didn’t lose the key
To rusty locks, you see
And freedom was held
Above all else, behold
What did you leave us?
Nothing
Nothing!
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?
It will destroy you
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?!
It’s gonna
KILL YOU
What do we see on streets
Of the twenty-first age?
Where man has lost man’s grace
In this darkened cage
Basement jaws hide the killers
And landfills now
Become the haunts of wild birds, somehow
Here every second soul
Smokes and drinks, losing control
Has given up the fight
Just existing — not living right
Here every fourth one’s hooked
Breathing gasoline
In roadside filth, it’s no surprise
Breathing gasoline
In roadside filth
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?
It will destroy you
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?!
It’s gonna
KILL YOU
Kill you
No law is written here
No honour, no fear
Each word you say
Becomes a cause to slay
They hit with whatever’s near
Or wait around the bend
For every scoundrel here
There’s a crowbar — count on that, my friend
But every crowbar has its match, you know
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?
It will destroy you
Take a look
Take a look, people
What are you doing
What are you doing?!
It’s gonna
KILL YOU
Kill you
