Screaming for Vengeance lyrics

Hey listen don't you let 'em get your mind

Fill your brain with orders and that's not right.

They're playing at a game that draws you closer

Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear.

Always takin' baby out that's o.k.

What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me

Told you once you're never gonna win the race

Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face.

[Chorus:]

We are screaming, screaming for vengeance

The world is a manacled place.

Screaming, screaming for vengeance

The world is defiled in disgrace.

Tie a blindfold all around your head

Spin you round in the torture before the dread.

And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner

Then they lead you out into the final slaughter.

As the sweat is running down your neck

All you're praying for's to stop your body breakin' up.

Oh your heart is pumpin' gonna soon explode

Got to fight the horror of this mental load.

[Chorus]

So you wait it out and bide your time

Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line.

Everyone who wins in the great escape

Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake.

I don't talk about it but that's alright

Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight.

If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait

Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate

[Chorus]
