The seeds have fallen into the ground
  They're thirsty for rain, they want rain
  Cut my chest, look inside you'll see-it's all burning
  It'll be late in a day, it'll be lat in an hour
  In a minute you won't stand up
  If the key doesn't open the door-smash the door!
  
  CHORUS
  We are all sick, mama
  I know mama, we are crazy sick!
  
  Steel between fingers, a clenched fist, hits into flesh
  But there's poison, stale in our veins, there once used to run blood
  A broken world, smashed heads, bread sliced in halves
  Somebody is crying, somebody is quiet and somebody is happy, so happy!
  
  CHORUS
  
  You gotta be strong, you gotta be able to say
  Hands off! Hands off me!
  You gotta be strong or else why are we here at all
  Millions of words mean nothing when you need a strong hand
  And here you are on the bank, you think,
  To swim or not to swim
  
  CHORUS
