Wrapped In Plastic

Guilt is the snake, we beat with the rake
Grow in our kitchens, in the pies we bake
Feed it to us, squirm in our bellies
Twisting our guts, melt our spines to jelly

Stay, hey, don't want to go now, stay

Drove the children, from their chores,
Handcrafted housewives into whores
Fear of the beast, is calling it near
Creating what we're hating, it's only fear that is here

Stay, hey, don't want to go now, stay

Come into our home, won't you stay
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
Come into our home, won't you stay
But it's wrapped in plastic

I'm only as deep as the self that I dig
I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig
Thin and so white, thin and so white
Daddy tells the daughter
Mommy's sleeping at night
Wash away sin, take off your skin
The righteous father wears the yellowest grin
Don't wanna go now
Stay, hey, don't want to go now, stay

Come into our home, won't you stay
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in
Come into our home, won't you stay
I know the steak is cold, I know it's wrapped in plastic
Come into our home, won't you stay
I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in
Come into our home, won't you stay
But it's wrapped in plastic
