Had you been called a filthy whore
By men whose hearts are made of stone
Found a S.W.A.T. team at your door
An angry voice on the telephone
Witness your whole life torn apart
By lab rats calling for your head
Then felt the pounding in your heart
At night while lying alone in bed
You will see what it's like
To lose all memory of your life
They paint a target for the pack
Won't allow you to fight back
Made your sanity their common cause
They mobilize to break no laws
I have seen a business fall
The F.B.I. don't care at all
They promise me they treat it fair
But I know they languish unaware
If you've been a column of the times
Or segment on the nightly news
As a victim of a cyber crime
Just for voicing your political views
If you've lost the will to give
Or disdain to feel the touch of sun
When all light has died, but darkness lives
And you feel the lure of a loaded gun
You will see what it's like
To lose control of your whole life
They paint a target for the pack
Won't allow you to fight back
Made your life their common cause
They mobilize but break no laws
I have seen a business fall
The F.B.I. don't care at all
They promise me they treat it fair
But they languish unaware
Quiet mornings have been sold
Demons - pain - addiction - pure
Blinding madness have taken hold
Self deletion finds no cure
Then run down dark and endless roads
Of a soul that's frozen in it's pain
Unpack the heavy heartache load
While standing outside in the pouring rain
You will see what it's like
To lose control of your whole life
They paint a target for the pack
Won't allow you to fight back
Made your life their common cause
They mobilize but break no laws
I have seen a business fall
The F.B.I. don't care at all
They may pretend they treat it fair
But I can see they languish unaware
They paint a target for the pack
Won't allow you to fight back
Made your life their common cause
They mobilize but break no laws
The news reports that truth is hard
Like S.W.A.T. teams standing in the yard
Walk on endless broken glass
On constant guard, on your toes
Jump at every shadow pass
In every stranger's face a foe
Then, desperate, try to hide out at home
Terrified that it will never last
Wonder when the next will come
Feel your life draining fast
Don't come near, don't tear it down
Behind each smile there is a frown
Don't judge me don't walk the mile
Walk on glass like burning tile
