Welcome to the world, young man Welcome to the world that I have planned for you It's all come true Welcome to the city's gates, camps of concentration for the poor But not at my door Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes Watching you, watching me Welcome to you new apartment, welcome to your block of fear You're welcome here Go away! Locked inside a concrete cage with those cameras for my eyes Outside are the population, the corpses and the flies Got to keep my carpets clean, you know there's mites and rats and mites and things living in a shagpile Fear of d**h is my recipe for life and I'm locked in and I like it that way I see no way out of here There is no way out of here I see no way out of here Here I sit at my windowbox, I put flowers on the rocks for you I don't put water on the cracks because you know what cracks can do Gotta keep myself secure, you know there's emotions, feelings, k**er bugs live in a shagpile
Fear of d**h is the guarantee of safety and I'm locked in and I like it that way I see no way out of here There is no way out of here I see no way out of here No way out! Flowers in the window box are blooming I pour water on the rocks so they won't die The pattern on the carpet shows I'm human I don't step on the foolish cracks, so I won't fry The sky is blue, the weather seems appealing I lay my hand upon the armoured gla** No more blood, I think my wound is healing Should I open it up, give it a try? Welcome to the world, young man Welcome to the world that I have planned for you It's all come true Welcome to the city's gates, camps of concentration for the poor But not at your door Welcome to the searchlights and the TV-eyes Watching me, watching you, watching me I see no way out of here There is no way out of here I see no way out of here
