SCHWARTZENEGGAR LYRICS

"Mutual Assured Destruction"

The ritual advances have been made,
Now flesh is bared as though it's a solution
To the fear and confusion
Dancing in chessboard rigidity,
A meet the requirements of ancient codes and traditions,
The never altered positions
A fleeting sense of security, from being held tightly,
'Til the camouflage drops and the tenderness stops.

The well rehearsed statements have been played,
Now it's red lights all the way in deathly silence,
A hint of sniggering violence
Reinforcing the roles, in a doomed situation
Of protector and protected, rejector and rejected
And there on a video, a simulated sex show
To keep us smiling through, to tell us what to do

And when a body falls back in surrender with both eyes
Blood on your fingers and a busted prize
By averting your eyes it isn't seen
By turning your head, you keep it clean

And proud of your achievement, success is yours
As you slip into position and a thousand hands applaud.
Passion flops as a record drops, it says, "Love has come at last"
And you wipe away your splattered pride
Because you came too fast.
So there's the pleasure, but where's the dignity?
Is it in your jaded performance with your smile of insincerity?
The coming retaliation is a deadly situation
When the feelings mutual, assured destruction.
