Skin Game

One afterthought on a skin game
 I took it as prescribed
 Vow do no harm, buy the cure
 But first you'll buy the disease
 I can see you've had some struggles lately
 Hey man I've had mine too
 Fighting to get through the door
 But I can't live like this anymore
 They gave us wings to fly
 But then they took away the sky
 Well, what you want?
 Serve me
 Sell me to the spoon
 I'm cashing in, falling out, tear me down, hung me up
 Strung out to please the king, in metropolitan's sackler wing
 I can help you, it's how I help myself
 I can see you've had some struggles lately
 Hey man I've had mine too
 Fighting to get through the door
 But I can't live like this anymore
 They gave us wings to fly
 But then they took away the sky
 I wanna be your doll
 But I won't be your dog anymore
 You gave us wings to fly
 But then you took away the sky
 Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin
 We live to use and we use to win
 Crack a window
 Get some life in you
 Holding in coughs, hiding my head
 Everyone respects the dead
 I can help you, it's how I help myself
 Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin
 We live to use and we use to live
 Crack a window
 Get some life in me
