Текст песни: Protection Racket + перевод

For the common good

That glare so piercing

It will burn through your back

Reach, re-educate the soul

(even though this is feigned)

Because you need

To be taken to task

Obscure my face

In Shadows i’ll consolidate

Unmasked, i’d be whipped into shape

In shadows i’ll consolidate

False alarmist — they will brand it

On your back

Or maniacal sadist, when you are

Barely defence-minded

Because you walk right out of step

Obscure my face

Effectively decapitate

Unbowed through

The smear campaign

Effectively decapitate

Effectively, socially

Protectively decapitated

Without in the blackout

So everybody’s running scared

Witheout in the blackout

Rank and file and all upstanding

With selective downplaying

Witheout in the blackout

Witheout in the blackout

So the oft-duped

Are grossly impaired

Witheout in the blackout

Startled, unsettled

Thus curiosity expelled

Witheout in the blackout

Homogenous — i’m surplus to

This time that’s well contained

Sullied rat in basement trap

With vital expose

For your own protection

For the retardation …
