Vile, crass
Gaunt, ashen-faced
RIFF A, RIFF A, Chorus
Cringing, crawling, hiking in disgrace
Shredding skin, changing face
Snake eyed, never making sense
Blinded with conceit
Lost in total paranoia
Fallacies in judgment
But no open regret
In winter winds or summer breeze
The only truth is fear
Pitiful, dismal, spiteful, parasite - scum
Vile, crass, gaunt, ashen-faced
Cringing, crawling, hiking in disgrace
Liar!
