Cat's foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons screams for more
Paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man
Blood rack, barbed wire
Polititians, funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man
Death seed, blind man's greed
Poets starving, children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
