Lyrics
If I could take this skin off I'd trade it for your riches
I'd just watch the sick turn into the witches
Well I sit and wait a call of arms to the bodies deceived
Well I just sit and wait 'til your eyes believe in little school
S.O.S!!
Paranoia pays for your freedom
Paranoia pays...
Well I just sit and wait everybody frees them
Just how does it feel?
Cause I just sit and wait everybody frees them
Till the boy is healed
We don't need no more of your observations
Cause we sit and hide under the robe
We don't need no more of your observations
We just feel alive under the robe
The liberation posted up the signs and every girl in this ***in' house is on the pill
I had to turn my ***ing skin inside out just for you
Said sit and wait thought you're gonna make some *** pig like you
Said I'm the sick one baby? With the right abuse in little school
S.O.S!!
Paranoia pays for your freedom
Paranoia pays...
Don't read the signs eveybody frees them
The signs everybody feeds them
No sign everybody frees them
No sign
We don't ned no more of your observations
Cause we sit and hide under the robe
We don't need no more of your observations
We just feel alive under the robe
Paid for!
Paranoia pays for your freedom
Population pays...
Paid for!
S.O.S!!
We're under robed that pay for freedom
We're under robed that paid for freedom
We're under robed that'll pay for that'll pay for
That'll be the robe and with your freedom
Freedom
Punish that pig
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official AMEN tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
