lyrics

Can I get you what you need?

You need some provisions?
I'll give you anything that I can.
Partner up with enemies
To help each other beat the man.
Yeah, you know the system
Isn't built to help the nice guys win
Catch me playing dirty
While I sit here drowning in your sin

Can I get you what you need?
I can do anything, just say it, please.

If you need a voice to rise
Please take mine, it's yours to share
Sacrifice my body, soul
Whatever you need, man, I'm there.
When you finish, spit me out
And pick your teeth with my blade
Something bigger than myself
I know that I was made.

*Meant to be a martyr
Meant to be your prey
Meant to be a mother
Meant to save the day
Sacrifices for the flock
A small price to pay
Leave me to the people
Who can live another day.

You need some protection?
Well I got your muscle, and your fists.
You need me to get things done?
I'll clean up all the spots you missed.
Call me Mrs. Clean up
And all your dirt is rinsing clear
I just washed it all away
Least, that's how it appears.

to *

Drink my cup and fill it up
Fill it with my tears and sweat
When it hydrates all your thirst
I hope it helps you to forget
Wash the bitter taste of hate
That's coming out your mouth
Wrap your words in sugar
When you say my name out loud.

to *
