(I'm) Screwed

[Intro]

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

[Verse 1]

I find myself surrounded by wild-eyed men

I strike one down, two of them rise again

So now that you've got me in the lion's den

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

When the savage has to hurt to feed

Then the master surely has his servants beat

Our poverty is their policy

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

This way

[Pre-Chorus]

And though I know not the reason that you’re mad at me

You've cast me as an actor in this tragic pageantry (Though not the lead)

So I have to ask you, dad, if that’s how bad you'll be?

And are you gonna turn the screws on me?

On me

[Chorus]

You’ve got the hungry under lock and key it seems

That you'll never let my body be my property

So the only component now that remains to be seen is

How you’re gonna turn the screws on me

(Screw me)

[Post-Chorus]

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

How you gonna turn the screws on me?

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Is it still a murder if it occurs gradually?

Screaming through the surgery, burnt to the third degree

The only element of your elaborate strategy

I’ve yet to see is

How you’re gonna turn the screws on me

On me, on me

[Chorus]

This daily disaster is your masterpiece

You have crafted an everlasting catastrophe

So I imagine smashing the last of my fragile dignity to smithereens is

How you’re gonna turn the screws on me

[Outro]

That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me

That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me

That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me

How you gonna turn the screws on me?
