   I see The Sword of Damocles
  is right above your head
  They're trying a new treatment
  to get you out of bed
  But radiation kills both bad and good
  it can not differentiate
  So to cure you they must kill you
  the Sword of Damocles hangs above your head
  
  Now I have seen lots of peoples die
  from car crashes or drugs
  Last night on 33rd st.
  I saw a kid get hit by a bus
  Bus this drawn out torture over which part of you lives
  is very hard to take
  To cure you they must kill you
  the Sword of Damocles above your head
  
  That mix of morphine and dexedrine
  we use it on the street
  It kills the pain and keeps you up
  your very soul to keep
  But this guessing game has its own rules
  the good don't always win
  And might makes right
  the Sword of Damocles is hanging above your head
  
  It seems everything's done that must be done
  from over here though things don't seem fair
  But there are things that we can't know
  maybe there's something over there
  Some other world that we don't know about
  I know you hate that mystic shit
  It's just another way of seeing
  the Sword of Damocles above your head
