[English]

Too much near the truth they say

Keep it till another day

Let them have their little game

Delusion helps to keep them sane

Let them have their little toys

Matchbox cars and more kids joys

Exciting in their plastic ways

Frozen food in a concrete place

Your gonna go insane

I'm tryin' to save your brain

Alright!

I don't know what's happening

My head's all torn inside

People say I'm heavy

They don't know what I hide

Take a life, it's going cheap

Kill someone, no one will weep

Freedom's yours, just pay your dues

We just want your soul to use

You're gonna go insane

I'm tryin' to save your brain
