[Verse 1]
Take a little time
Take a little time with your thoughts now
Maybe think before you take up that cause now
And don't end up with remorse now

[Verse 2]
Take a little time
Take a little time to talk with your friends now
Your honorable means may have violent ends now
That's how the title ascends now

[Bridge]
But they will lie and lie and lie
They will leave you when you cry
They will bleed you till you're dry
And you will never once ask why

-Break-

[Verse 3]
Make a little peace
Make a little peace with yourself now
Lay your knowledge out on the shelf now
Make a new decision using something else now
[Verse 4]
Take a little look
Take a look behind her gold curtain
See if the beliefs you hold certain
Don't make you a horrible person

[Bridge]
But they will lie and lie and lie
They will leave you when you cry
They will bleed you till you're dry
And you will never ask why
And they will keep you in your place
One kind of love, one sex, one race
And they will throw it in your face
Until you flail for breathing space

[Verse 5]
Dreams, all rotten and obscene
Seduce you with our means
Destroy your self-esteem
With nihilist extremes
An infinite attack
A megalomaniac
And scorching blood so trank
A monkey on your back
[Outro]
Dreams, all rotten and obscene
It's the choice you will complete
Destroy your self-esteem
When I enlist your screams
An infinite attack
A megalomaniac
And scorching blood so trank
