Lyrics

You are subject to inspections
Those are not your lips
Have you been kissed by a computer?
Are you able to move your hips?

It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, have you seen them?
We cling to our skin

Is it true, are you changing?
If so, I won't come in
Are you going to be different?
You're so raw without skin

It's the skins, have you seen them?
Holding us in
The skins, have you seen them?
We cling to our skin?

Mandy Perkins, where are you now?
The age of innocence is dead
Legions of legends have shown us how
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
I'm not complaining, it's so hard to keep my head
When your raging, it's so hard to keep your head
