Twitch
Idiot Flesh Lyrics

Cradle to grave, think like a slave
From birth to death, we're conditioned to blindly obey without questioning.

Weak at the start, we're ripped apart
At our weakest moments, we're most vulnerable to being taken advantage of and torn apart.

Even the strong don't take too long
Even the strongest among us can't withstand the constant pressures and stresses of life forever.

Making it through what's left of you
We're only able to survive as long as our bodies and minds are able to withstand the onslaught of existence.

Work like a dog, jump like a frog
We're expected to work tirelessly, with no end in sight, and to have boundless energy like a frog.

Breaking the law, breaking your jaw
The consequences of breaking the law are severe and can lead to physical harm or serious legal trouble.

Flat on your back, your heart attack
We're often pushed to the brink of physical and emotional collapse, leading to serious health issues.

Hole in the sky, no place to die
There's no escaping the cycle of life and death, and there's no afterlife waiting for us.

Everybody on the floor
Everyone is subjugated and under the control of those in power, forced to submit to their demands.

Nobody gets out the door
No one is able to escape the vicious cycle of oppression and exploitation in our society.

If you're happy and you know it,
If you're content with your life and the way things are going,

If you're dying show it with a twitch!
you must still show outward signs of suffering and pain, as death is an inevitable outcome.

Women and men, we're tricked again
Both men and women are repeatedly misled and manipulated by societal norms and gender roles.

Up to our necks buried in sex
We're often consumed by the pursuit of sexual pleasure and desire, to the point of sacrificing our own well-being.

Some like it hot, some like it bought
People have different preferences for how they want to live and enjoy life, whether that means seeking pleasure or acquiring material possessions.

Tear at the skin might let you in.
In order to be accepted and feel validated, we're forced to shed our own identities and conform to societal expectations.

Here's something you can't ignore when life is a hole that you dug before.
When we're stuck in a miserable situation of our own making, we can't simply ignore it and hope it will go away.

Here's something you can explore when staying alive gets to be a bore.
When life becomes stagnant and unfulfilling, we can still find new experiences and opportunities to make it interesting and exciting.
