Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dehumanize
Lobotomize
Thrown into a cell
Swallow your pride
With an infant mind
[Verse 2]
Thrown into a cell
A punishment fit
For a crippled mind
Don't do that to me
Criminals, subordinates, all laughing at me
[Verse 3]
Life is hell
Forever fighting
A deficient mind
We're all left alone and poisoned
A sickening trap
A sight worth seeing
[Verse 4]
Dehumanize
Lobotomize
Thrown into a cell
Swallow your pride
An infant mind
[Verse 5]
Don't do that to me
Don't do that to me
Force-fed from birth
Time is frozen, fearfully
[Verse 6]
You know what I said
Hideous in strength
Thrown into a cell
A punishment fit
For a crippled mind
Written by: Al Jourgensen, Chris Connelly, Paul G Barker
