Numbers called as they're waiting in a line

Camouflaged like a jungle snake

Acting tough, just enough

'til they start to break

Then they're off with a rush of adrenalin

Holding on to a world unseen

the only sound is the pumping of the great machine



[chorus:]

The secret's only for a few

Superpower looks down on you

Someone's watching every move

You can break the lock and turn on the light ?

You know your danger feelings are right

Try to run or put up a fight

You'll be shot down in the night

Shot down like an animal





See them run like rats from the factory

Push them out to the twilight zone

Let them feed on their needs

'til they're overthrown

Take them up to a place in the gallery

Show them God with an angel face

Curtain call for the fall

Of the Human race







Play it straight and it seems like a mystery

Tell the truth and it sounds like lies

Looking down at the ground

With your angry eyes

Play the game and you'll see there's a difference

Join the ranks and you'll get your kicks

See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks
