Lyrics: 
 

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 people die from car crashes or drugs 
Last night on 33rd st. 
I saw a kid get hit by a bus 
But 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
