What do they want from you?

The cars rev up, the word goes round

Their words can hurt, their words can kill

Listen to the sound you heard

Destruction in their breath

And your love

Bm
Their sentimental calling signs

Bm
Are calculatingly designed

Bm
To rob you of your mind and time

Bm
And still you listen to

Bm
The lulling drone of reassuring voices

Bm
Tuned to take away your choices

Bm
Make you slave to fancy words and phrases

Bm
Until you're pushing up the daisies

Bm
To rob you...

Bm
Mind and Time

Bm
To rob you...

Bm
They steal away your freedom and your love
