(Kevin Gilbert)
I'm a sick man, A very sick man
I don't expect you to understand
There I am - Just look at me
I walk among you in talked of men
And I am power's most vital friend
There I am - You're looking at me
But there is no one I have not known
And no one's vengeance I do not own
There I am - Just look at me
I am there in the back of your mind
I am uncaring, I am unkind
There I am - You're looking at me
Creep up behind you when you fill with hate
I get excited when you're irate
I make you crazy, make your conscience numb
I've got the anger gonna get you some
Now we think what we're taught
Shadow self - what we thought
There is no right or wrong
Shadow self - sing your song
You will become me –
There's a fire in my head can't put out
There's a name on my lips can't pronounce
There's a stain on my heart can't get out
And you know the way...

I beat your children, I drop your bomb
From school yard brawls to the Pentagon
There I am - Just look at me
Give me a conflict, give me a war
Just give me something worth fighting for
There I am - You're looking at me
Don't try to keep me bottled up inside
I'm there inside you now you cannot hide
I've always been and I will always be
I like the goose-step won't you dance with me?
There are no, “There are no”
Words to say, “Words to say”
Shadow self, “Shadow self”
Nature’s way, “Nature’s way”
Lives in you, “Lives in you”
Lives in me, “Lives in me”
Shadow self, “Shadow self”
Never free, “No one is ever free!”
You will become me –
There's a fire in my head can't put out
There's a name on my lips can't pronounce
There's a stain on my heart can't get out
And you know the way...
