he's a modern man who lost his calling
when the year began he felt like steel
now he's sinking fast it's quite appalling
in a desperate gasp he cry's I'm here
Ooh you love him... ooh ya do
Ooh you love him... cause he's like you
he use to dream a lot
got started good ... then lost the heart
and then one day....the heart departs
he tumbles
down in a hole ... he can't resolve
how to live
God... forbid!
he grinds
he grinds
his brain is mash potato
psychotic elevated
he got no better than a 50/50 chance
condition aggravated
contortion nerve related
his hand is fisted for a monumental smash
he grinds
he grinds!
he's a modern man who lost his feeling
in a circumstance assumed insane
now the die is cast and time keeps dealing
to forget the past he hides the pain
if the god in man can spark a healing
in a blinding flash his life could change
