The Shape Of Things To Come
Pro Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've had enough and we won't be taking no more
Don't turn around until you're home
And leave us to ourselves to be with your own
We built this house for us to share with those we trust
At times too much we give the world in which we live
Brainwash with a Mega dose of TV
Their sentiment just don't mean shit to me
So lock me up and throw away the key
Beneath we're all the same
Don't be so fucking lame
Our minds are duly raped just to change the shape of things to come
Get lost - there's another town to taint an another will to break
But worst of all it's all our fault

Open your eyes and close the door
Be aware of your surroundings and keep unwanted things out
We've had enough and we won't be taking no more
We're tired of the current situation and refuse to put up with it any longer
Don't turn around until you're home
Continue moving forward until you reach your destination
And leave us to ourselves to be with your own
Let us be independent and have our own company
We built this house for us to share with those we trust
We constructed a home where we can be with people we rely on
At times too much we give the world in which we live
Sometimes we provide more than we should to the society we inhabit
Brainwash with a Mega dose of TV
People are being manipulated through excessive television exposure
The bleeding hearts convince us to be PC
People who show compassion and concern influence us to be politically correct
Their sentiment just don't mean shit to me
I don't care about their feelings
So lock me up and throw away the key
Punish me as if I'm a criminal
Beneath we're all the same
Ultimately, we're all identical at the core
Don't be so fucking lame
Don't be uncool and uninspired
Our minds are duly raped just to change the shape of things to come
Our thoughts are being violated to influence the future
Get lost - there's another town to taint an another will to break
Go away - there's another location to corrupt and another person to defeat
But worst of all it's all our fault
The most regretful part is that we're responsible for everything
