lyrics
You lose your friends and your family
The ones that tell you that you’re all you need to be
You lose yourself in what you find to be right
You blunt your teeth on what you fight
You tilt at windmills, you strike at your heart
To jam the treadmill, to upend the apple cart
Bash the bosses, damn the cost
Kill the victors now, bless the lost
Left with nothing now, you’re alone
You beg for favours, you beg for home
You curse your own complicity
As you lose identity
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead
