Black Flag - Padded Cell Lyrics

earth's a padded cell. defanged and declawed. i'm living in hell. it's a paradise fraud. straight jacket minds. in line to be old. telling me to want. let time slip through my teeth. well i'm not the fool. i'm going to town. manic reactions are always a buzz. i'm suspect, the stranger in disguise. it's forced itself upon me. something i can't hide. see it in... maniacs. their eyes... maniacs. maniacs, maniacs. looking at you, inside of you. behind your eyes, through your mind. looking at you, inside of you. i'm invisible, nowhere to hide. i'm obscene. the living dead. see the flys feed off your head. looking at you, i'm inside of you. it's walden two, but the flower's dead. see it in... maniacs. their eyes... maniacs. maniacs, maniacs. earth's a padded cell. defanged and declawed. i'm living in hell. it's a paradise fraud. straight jacket minds. in line to be old. telling me to want. let time slip through my teeth. well i'm not the fool. i'm going to town. manic reactions are always a buzz. i'm suspect, the stranger in disguise. it's forced itself upon me. something i can't hide. see it in... maniacs. their eyes... maniacs. maniacs, maniacs.
