(I'm) Screwed
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
I find myself surrounded by wild-eyed men
I strike one down - two of them rise again
So now that you've got me in the lion's den
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
When the savage has to hurt to feed
Then the master surely has his servants beat
Our poverty is their policy
How you gonna turn the screws on me this way?
And though I know not the reason that you're mad at me
You've cast me as an actor in this tragic pageantry
(Though not the lead)
So I have to ask you, Dad
If that's how bad you be?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
On me
You got the hungry under lock and key, it seems
And you'll never let my body be my property
So the only component now that remains to be seen
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me?
(Screw me)
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
Yeah
Is it still a murder if it occurs gradually?
Screaming through the surgery, burned to the third degree
The only elements of your elaborate strategy I'm yet to see
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me
On me, on me
This daily disaster is your masterpiece
You have crafted an everlasting catastrophe
So I imagine smashing the last of my fragile dignity to smithereens
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
I find myself surrounded by wild-eyed men
I strike one down - two of them rise again
So now that you've got me in the lion's den
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
When the savage has to hurt to feed
Then the master surely has his servants beat
Our poverty is their policy
How you gonna turn the screws on me this way?
And though I know not the reason that you're mad at me
You've cast me as an actor in this tragic pageantry
(Though not the lead)
So I have to ask you, Dad
If that's how bad you be?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
On me
You got the hungry under lock and key, it seems
And you'll never let my body be my property
So the only component now that remains to be seen
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me?
(Screw me)
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
Yeah
Is it still a murder if it occurs gradually?
Screaming through the surgery, burned to the third degree
The only elements of your elaborate strategy I'm yet to see
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me
On me, on me
This daily disaster is your masterpiece
You have crafted an everlasting catastrophe
So I imagine smashing the last of my fragile dignity to smithereens
Is how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
That's how you're gonna turn the screws on me
How you gonna turn the screws on me?
