Lyrics
V1
prostitution little red light
institution sucking your life
you do it for money I do it for love
I do what I like but you give it up
chorus
you sold your soul because you won't let go
now you want a peice of my rock and roll
oh give it a rest one of the dead one of the dead
you don't fool me your epitaph reads
a little bit of nothing but a whole lot a greed
you can kiss my ass one of the dead one of the dead
one of the dead
V2
Sanctuary contraband what do you do when your dead?
get up and walk the land
gimme dark angels wings of fire I don't want to leave
but will I make it out alive?
chorus
V3
I'm just a peacful reminder don't take it out on me
life is alot about sacrifice you gotta spill your guts and bleed
i'm just a fucking wake up call a little voice in your head
the minute you play by another mans rules you might as well be one of the dead
chorus
outro
why don't you just lay down and
why can't you just lay down and
why don't you just lay down and die
a wise man said give me some truth
its a fucked up world because of people like you
you're a blood sucking son of a bitch
you're one of the dead
one of the dead
one of the dead
one of the dead
