Thick Skin

Thick skin covers my brain, I don't hear what you say Thick skin covers my veins, so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my frame and I will tell you plain Thick skin covers my Thick skin covers my veins so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my Fair is foul Foul is fair We go there We know where We don't care Say your prayers Cos I live for the stairs And just have a seat and a chair I will do anything for your approval Sever my aura, it's not useful Cut my third eye out, stamp on it Insert the plug, quick put a clamp on it Before the blood has a chance to get damp on it I don't wanna feel numb, I wanna feel nothing Sit down on my face, it's nothing Give me an imagine I can be cussing Two minutes to hate on something I need someone to blame for my life Fact that I hate my job and my wife Them bloody foreigners They're the reason I don't read and eat too many pies That I believe in too many lies I've been deceived that I need to despise Really, I ain't got a clue what's going on The world moves and I'm barely holding on And that scares me But I am the patriot so I just can't admit it Fear is weak, I am strong Look at the strength that I exhibit Thick skin covers my Thick skin covers my brain, I don't hear what you say Thick skin covers my veins, so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my frame and I will tell you plain Thick skin covers my Thick skin covers my veins, so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my Fair is foul Foul is fair Just listen, a man on a mission Don't talk If you're not my religion or don't look like me I don't wanna hear it You weren't born on the same patch of land You are not as much of a man You've got a heart but it ain't the same Mine's more pure you should be ashamed I am a patriot, can't you see I am a patriot, can't you see Take ideas that I have been fed and let them decide just who I should be So no I'm not proud just to be living Only proud of the box that I fit in And I'm taking it on the form of pride Cos I'm proud of my disguise But if you look in my eyes You would see that I die inside Thick skin covers my Thick skin covers my brain, I don't hear what you say Thick skin covers my veins, so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my frame and I will tell you plain Thick skin covers my Thick skin covers my veins, so I don't feel no pain Thick skin covers my Yesterday we were friends with them Today we'll go to war And everybody will pretend to forget that we were ever even friends before By taking their land we're giving them a hand DoubleThink DoubleThink - Yes we can! Fear and ignorance make love And they give birth to patriotism If I'm in charge, I will get large The more I can harbour their divisions No I'm not saying that we should be proud But we are what we did and what our cultures were Does that mean I've got to be mean and attempt to differentiate words from words Pyramid, Sistine Chapel the Great Wall, something can be learnt from all But if I stay bigoted, in my own little world my knowledge is inhibited And knowledge is moisture for thick skin Softens the shield that we exist in
