Lyrics
STRAW MAN
You have sold your soul
for a spark of power
you are the instrument of deceit
you can just lie
you will burn in an instant!
I know that you are a straw man
You have learned to obey orders
your brain is almost empty
you are the instrument of pain
you can only kill
you will rust and rot
I know that you are metal man
You have set up this plot
for you and your friends
you are the instrument of injustice
you can just blame
you will tear to a thousand pieces
I know that you are a paper man
You have wanted to get the most out of progress
ignoring the rhythm of the earth
you are the instrument of horror
you can just destroy
you will waste away and disintegrate
I know that you are a plastic man
You have never been able to understand
that the world is not at your service
you are the instrument of pride
you can just suck
you will turn into dust and the wind will blow you away
I know that you are a cork man
