Machine Girl
A Decent Man
[Verse 1]
In a world of shit and I'm a pile of it
Without a fucking drink I'm reminded of it
Take another shot before the feeling sets in
Going 95 on the death drive
Gonna be a gremlin till the day I die
Waiting for a bullet or a falling sky

[Chorus]
I'm just another casualty
Fuel for the beast of property
Lived my whole life as a fool
Don’t be another casualty
Become the beast you wanna be
I know the end is coming soon

[Verse 2]
The severed head of a pacifist
The seven heads of the apocalypse
The seven sins are in my pocket
It's living the life of a basilisk
Need to escape I need a Pegasus
My hatred grows inside a chrysalis

[Chorus]
I'm just another casualty
Fuel for the beast of property
Lived my whole life as a fool
Don’t be another casualty
Become the beast you wanna be
I know the end is coming soon
[Verse 3]
Blocking reason like a precipice
Fuck mother earth just like we're Oedipus
Be a heathen fuck Leviticus
I think about my face and the pavement
A match made in my own mental-haven
A dog in the street no one will save me

[Chorus]
I'm just another casualty
Fuel for the beast of property
Lived my whole life as a fool
Don’t be another casualty
Become the beast you wanna be
I know the end is coming soon

[Bridge]
The bomb is armed
My hands are tied
And so are yours
(Cutting through my bone with scissors, cutting off three of my fingers)
The clock is ticking
I’m not afraid
I’m gonna die today
(Cutting through my bone with scissors, cutting off three of my fingers)
[Chorus]
I was a decent man
I'm on a descent, man
I was a decent man
Just trying to be something
I was a decent man
I'm on a descent, man
I was a decent man
Just trying to be something

[Verse]
Bark like a dog
Bark like a leader
Get on your knees
Beg like you need it
Beg like a dog
Beg like a leader
You're just a man
Fuck like you mean it

Violent night it's just a [x12]

[Chorus]
I was a decent man
I'm on a descent, man
I was a decent man
Just trying to be something
I was a decent man
Just trying to be something
I was a decent man
Just trying to be something
Violent night it's just a [x12]

I was a secret man, never been decent man [x4]

Look at me now [x6]
