Lyrics

An I for an I

[Verse 1]

We owe it to the willing souls

To the white lie

The double bluff and fever

An I for an I

We owe it to the TV

To the motherland smile

Apocalypse and rapture signing in

An I for an I

[Chorus]

If you're not with us, you're against

An I for an I

[Verse 2]

We owe it to disaster

To the black fire

The anger and enclosure of desire

An I for an I

We owe it to the sex toys

To the icons of our time

Humility and touch is in decline

An I for an I

[Chorus]

If you're not with us, you're against

An I for an I

[Chorus]

If you're not with us, you're against

An I for an I

I for an I

We owe it to the TV

To disaster

To the motherland smile

To the willing souls

To the willing souls

To the willing souls
