Kicking and Screaming
Station X (R.I.P.) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you lost your mind?
Can’t you see you’re the despised, uninvited?
Calling out the worst of the cases…
Seems cross to me, things are steaming out.
Power trip, it’s time to get the fuck out!
Seems cross to me, things are steaming out,
Read the lines - I’ll have you sit the fuck down.
“God damn! You leave me with some tough decisions!”
It shows that you think you’re something valuable.
Your renditions have been lost in submission.
Feed the wolves, a bloody scene;
You’ll be cut at the knees.
With bait in mind we won’t stop without killing.
Pinch a nerve, can’t endure, your voice no longer occurs…
But you’re still leaving here kicking and screaming!
(Thoughtful ammo! Thoughtful ammo!)
No words are coming out; I hear you choking on your tongue.
The blood, it fills your lungs - the perilous gun!
(Thoughtful ammo! Thoughtful ammo!)
No words are coming out; I hear you choking on your tongue.
(Thoughtful ammo! Thoughtful ammo!)
The blood, it fills your lungs - the perilous gun!
Collapse of what we’re told,
Predictions will unfold.
You’re pleading:
“Father War, you gonna get us out of here? Get us out of here!”
Excuses getting old, the lead is growing cold.
You calibrate your mind and you can spend it for your own.
“Savage minds, get the cyanide.”
The choice is leaving, leave it rectified.
“Savage minds, get the cyanide.”
The choice is leaving, leave it rectified.
“Savage minds, get the cyanide.”
The choice is leaving, leave it rectified.
Lost brigade with your lost tales.
No more statue upright!
You’re the unprevailed.
Get the fuck out of here!
Lost brigade with your lost tales.
No more statue upright!
You’re the unprevailed.
Get the fuck out of…
