Lyrics
My Sociology
There's a woman outside
that walks the line
Between day and night
between death and crime
And she carries the cross
of the burning road
She's got her time to spend
She's got her life on loan
She's got a soul for rent
Cause her body's done sold
Society's controlling
all our minds
I'm gonna pick a peach
from my dead fruit tree
I'm gonna pinch an inch
off my paid for bitch
I'm gonna drink my wine
while my drug takes hold
I'm gonna lose my mind
I will lose control
I'm gonna cut a slice
from my woman's hide
Put down the salt and pass me the
knife... pass me the knife
I will go where you tell me
I will follow where I'm wanted
Mother may I teach the wisdom
I have learned
