lyrics

ARREST THAT NAKED IMAGE

Just another, just another, just another
Just another like a million others
Just another dead child on a mother's breast
In the name of war and conquest,
It's feed the machine and kil the rest
Feed the machine and kill the rest

CHORUS

Arrest that naked image,
Arrest that naked image,
Before it does some damage
'Cause it's arrestin' on it's own
Just like the little children
Lyin' in the graveyards,
Lyin' by the millions
A restin' on their own

Just another, just another, just another
Just another like a million others...
Just another big buck that seals the deal,
Just another big deal to grease the wheel...
Just another, and another

Shroud of flies on a human face,
Sunken eyes of the human race,
Weigh the body in the sack,
Pile another carcass on the stack
But if the child was white - Instead of black?

CHORUS

Let's identify the problem;
Why are people starvin'?
It's all corporate guns and money
It's all corporate guns and money!
Arrest that naked image... arrest that naked image
Before it does some damage,
'Cause it's arrestin' on its own
Just like the little children
Lyin' in the graveyards,
Lyin' by the millions
A restin' on their own...
