Whole Step Down
[Verse]
E
They tied his arms behind his back
A E
To teach him how to swim
E
They put blood in his coffee
A E
And milk in his gin
E
They stood over the soldier
A E
In the midst of the squalor
E
There was war in his body
A E
And it caused his brain to holler
[Chorus]
A E
Make the sacrifice
A E
Mutilate my face
A E
If you need someone to kill
A E
I'm a man without a will
A E
Wash the razor in the rain
A E
Let me luxuriate in pain
A E
But please don't set me free
A E
Death means a lot to me
[Verse]
E
The pain was lean
And it made him scream
A E
He knew he was alive
E
He put a pin through the nipples
On his chest
A E
He thought he was a saint
E
I've made love to my mother
Killed my father and brother
A E
What am I to do?
E
When a sin goes too far
It's like a runaway car
A E
It cannot be controlled
E
Spit upon his face and scream
There's no oedipus today
This is no play
You're thinking you are in
A E
What will you say?
E
Take the blue mask down from my face
A E
And look me in the eye
E
I get a thrill from punishment
A E
I've always been that way
E
I loathe and despise repentance
A E
You are permanently stained
E
Your weakness buys indifference
A E
And indiscretion in the streets
E
Dirty's what you are
And clean is what you're not
A E
You deserve to be soundly beat
[Chorus]
A E
Make the sacrifice
A E
Take it all the way
A E
There's no "won't" high enough
A E
To stop this desperate day
A E
Don't take death away
A E
Cut the finger at the joint
A E
Cut the stallion at his mount
A E
And stuff it in his mouth
