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
