Crucify (Live) [Corn Exchange, 05/04/92]

[Verse 1]

Every finger in the room

Is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then I get afraid of what that could bring

I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage

Would choose to sell out now

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Just what God needs: one more victim

[Chorus]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains, oh oh oh

Chains, oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

Got a kick for a dog

Begging for love

I gotta have my suffering

So that I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says, "Will you ever learn?

You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird"

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Got enough guilt to start my own religion

[Chorus]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains, oh oh oh

Chains

[Bridge]

Please, please

Save me

I cry

[Pre-Chorus]

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands, drive another nail in

Where are those angels when you need them?

[Chorus]

Why do we crucify ourselves every day?

I crucify myself, nothing I do is good enough for you

I crucify myself every day

I crucify myself

And my heart is sick of being

I said my heart is sick of being in

Chains

Chains, oh yes

In chains, oh oh oh oh

[Outro]

I'm never going back again

To crucify myself again, you know

Never going back again

To crucify myself every day, yes
