Текст песни: Maimed for the Masses + перевод

I swore that I’d make good on the dreams of my forgotten youth

Although no one believed me if you want to know the truth

I would dive off of the cages just like the Superfly

I thought it was my destiny but in time it was a lie

Yes I would get the girls and I would beat the rest

And I would finally get that big red heart tattooed upon my chest

Ten pounds of gold around my waist that says that I’m the best

But we all know that it was not to be

Now I’m a monster — my body’s been destroyed

Yet here I stand — still gainfully employed

Ready to maim myself for the masses to enjoy

It’s all in a hard day’s work for Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

For Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Leon broke my nose and severed off my ear

So when the nurse asked me if it was real I couldn’t even hear

The barbs from crowds more painful than those that hang on wires

I have this sacred calling nothing else could drive me higher

Well the tacks go in and the blood comes out

And I’ll never get the girls with my two front teeth knocked out

A needle in my spine means I can fight another bout

And take a guess when that next bout will be

Now I’m a monster — my body’s been destroyed

Yet here I stand — still gainfully employed

Ready to maim myself for the masses to enjoy

It’s all in a hard day’s work for Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

For Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Sold out every night

Lon Chaney in tights

Now I’m a monster — my body’s been destroyed

Yet here I stand — still gainfully employed

Ready to maim myself for the masses to enjoy

It’s all in a hard day’s work for Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

For Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

For Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

For Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy

Mrs. Foley’s baby boy
