It's quiet and loud
No one hears it but us
Some starving and proud,
No one chooses but us
You can hide up upstream,
We will trap and scalp you
Change the colour of your skin,
But sure as night we'll find you
Never meant to hurt no one,
Only meant to move myself
Yeah, I try and I try,
'til I'm red in the face
We decide what goes inside your head
You see yourself in me
How'd you do that? How'd you?
Beyond your towers wall,
He waits on the killing call
And he tries and he tries,
'til he's red in the face
We decide what goes inside your head

If you are interested in playing the rest of this song, the intro is repeated for
most of the song
It's quiet and loud
No one hears it but us
Some starving and proud,
No one chooses but us
You can hide up upstream,
We will trap and scalp you
Change the colour of your skin,
But sure as night we'll find you
Never meant to hurt no one,
Only meant to move myself
Yeah, I try and I try,
'til I'm red in the face
We decide what goes inside your head
You see yourself in me
How'd you do that? How'd you?
Beyond your towers wall,
He waits on the killing call
And he tries and he tries,
'til he's red in the face
We decide what goes inside your head
