Chemical Distortion

I feel the chills all around and I'm bound

Feel underhand, frozen tight where I stand

So light a torch in my mind and I find

Light all around, I can clearly see the sound

I don't need, I don't need what you feed

All your greed and the seedy pathological extortion

I don't need, I don't need what you feed

All your greed and the seeds of your chemical distortion

I don't need what you feed or the seeds of your destruction

I don't need what you feed or your chemical combustion

I don't need what you feed pathological extortion

I don't need what you feed or your chemical distortion

I'm only human - well as far as I know

A production existing in the show

Still flesh and blood that can heal if it's real

Did the truth leave you hoarse? Well it's par for the course

I don't need, I don't need what you feed

All your greed and the seedy pathological extortion

I don't need, I don't need what you feed

All your greed and the seeds of your chemical distortion

I don't need what you feed or the seeds of your destruction

I don't need what you feed or your chemical combustion

I don't need what you feed pathological extortion

I don't need what you feed or your chemical distortion

I don't need, I don't need, I don't need to be told

My mind won't be washed and my soul won't be sold

I don't need to be told how to think or how to feel

You can live in your pretence, you can understand the deal

You're lightning in a bottle, lightning in your hand

Living every minute, each and every grain of sand

Don't need all your greed, pathological extortion

Don't need what you feed, your chemical distortion

Don't need what you feed, and the seeds of your destruction

Don't need what you feed, or your chemical combustion

Don't need mass direction when we're trying to be smart

We can all rise together or we all fall apart

We don't need to divide sexuality or race

Turning one against another up in everybody's face

Every non-apology's irrelevant of course

Belittling mentality, entitlement by force

I don't need all your greed, pathological extortion

Don't need what you feed, your chemical distortion

Don't need what you feed, and the seeds of your destruction

Don't need what you feed, or your chemical combustion
