Power For Power
Use sex for control
Use power for power
Use money for cruelty
Use hate for freedom
Take control and keep it
Don't let go
He was your friend
She was your friend
They were wrong
Turn against them
Sex, power, money, hate
Take control and keep it
Don't let go
Power for power
Power for power's sake
Use power for power
Use money for cruelty
Use hate for freedom
Take control and keep it
Don't let go
He was your friend
She was your friend
They were wrong
Turn against them
Sex, power, money, hate
Take control and keep it
Don't let go
Power for power
Power for power's sake

Freak
come here you freak
i saw you crawling last night
big erection in your hand
you rule the world
you're gonna murder somebody weak
strong men win at violence and abuse
i'm not scared
i'll take what i want
something for nothing
i want what you've got
i saw you crawling last night
big erection in your hand
you rule the world
you're gonna murder somebody weak
strong men win at violence and abuse
i'm not scared
i'll take what i want
something for nothing
i want what you've got

Weakling
I don't feel pain
I never escape
I'm under the bed
I'm licking the floor
I never dream
This isn't real
Not real [x2]
You know everything
I forgot how to breathe
You're touching my chest
When I'm touched I bleed
I never dream
This isn't real
Not real [x2]
I never escape
I'm under the bed
I'm licking the floor
I never dream
This isn't real
Not real [x2]
You know everything
I forgot how to breathe
You're touching my chest
When I'm touched I bleed
I never dream
This isn't real
Not real [x2]

Filth is the debut studio album by American experimental rock band Swans. It was released in 1983 through Neutral Records, following the release of the band's self-titled debut EP in 1982. Though it did not receive much contemporary attention, Filth has since been recognized as ahead of its time and significant to heavy genres of music.
Musically, the album is bleak, grinding, and deliberately repetitive, defined by two bassists persistently doubling over the same chord. The two drummers, Jonathan Kane and Roli Mosimann, play chaotically and angularly, occasionally mixing in percussion from metal straps striking tables, and the distorted guitar of Norman Westberg plays in a grating fashion. The vocals of Swans frontman Michael Gira are scathing and direct, covering topics of social decay, corruption, rape, and abuse of power.
