Wicked Tension – August lyrics

Don’t consider this a unique situation
It’s just a graphic expose
When society can’t cope with it
They’d just as soon
Lock it away
He appeared sub-human and scary
The modern day elephant man
Just a body
Not a person
An animal, stereotypical as you can

Oo-oo la la was all he could say
Oo-oo la la was all he could say

It ain’t any of us in particular
We use the 3rd person society
We can see what’s wrong with them
So what’s wrong with us?

Don’t consider this a unique case
Here we go again create a master race
Label it and tag it, assign it a place
When will we stop with this master race

Society locked him up for 38 years
Living in a strait jacket all drugged up
Living in a shower on a ceramic floor and they
Threw away the key of his pad-locked door

Oo-oo la la was all he could say
Oo-oo la la and we had nothing say

What we can’t see was never there
We’d rather be ignorant and unaware
Far surpass the standards set
With the respect that all should get

Don’t consider this a unique situation
This does happen most everywhere
Don’t consider this a unique situation
When you’re under but not under care

After four decades in a state examination there
Were 61 sores, scars, lesions and abrasions
Scars from 10 assaults and 30 lacerations and they
They pulled 18 teeth and an ears amputation

So, don’t consider this a unique case
Here we go again create a master race
Name it - label it
Assign it a place
When will we stop with this master race
