Guiltiness lyrics

Guiltiness (talkin’ ‘bout guiltiness)

pressed on their conscience, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

And they live their lives (they live life)

on false pretense every day,

each and every day, yeah.

These are the big fish (these are the big fish)

who always try to eat down the small fish,

and just the small fish.

I tell you again, they would do anything

to materialize their every wish.

Oh, yeah.

But wait...

Woe to the downpressor, (woe, woe, woe)

they'll eat the bread of sorrow.

Woe to the downpressor,

they'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow.

Woe to the downpressor,

they'll eat the bread of sorrow.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Guiltiness (talkin’ ‘bout guiltiness)

pressed on their conscience, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

These are the big fish (these are the big fish)

who always try to eat down the small fish,

eh, just the small fish.

And I tell you what:

they would do anything, anything

to materialize their every wish.

Oh, yeah.

But woe, woe to the downpressor,

(woe, woe, woe)

they'll eat the bread of sorrow.

Woe to the downpressor,

(woe, woe, woe)

they'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow.

Woe to the downpressor,

(woe, woe, woe)

they'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Guiltiness.

Oh, yeah!

They'll eat the bread of sorrow (every day).

Every day (oh, yeah).

And they'll eat the bread of sad tomorrow

(every day) every day.
