Dead or alive

You are just slave of corporation
since you were murdered and destroyed
you will be now secure and patient
on bloody streets of sick Detroit

reanimation was unusual
new body made of special steel
your death or life - what's more illusion?
cannot remember what you feel

instead of graveworms - tubes and wires
instead of coffin - iron shell
now you can tell the fair from liars
but who you are you cannot tell
they took you back from hell or into hell
but still your soul they cannot sell

there is no sense in feeling sorry
there is no chance for turning back
the same old song of death or glory
the only law you shall protect

that's nothing more than dirty business
another crime they will commit
but it is really hard to see this
society that you never fit
but link just way too tight -
byte after byte,
bit after bit!

chorus

contract is signed, afterlife, resurrected
project and property of OCP
guard of the law, by the law not protected,
dead or alive you are coming with me

seeking for justice, denying the maker
though for themselves they were digging a grave
they try to push there their undertaker
dead or alive, I am more than a slave


one second to define the target
best cop in the United States
but you're just product of the market
supposed to have no human traits

from the nightmare no way out
injection of adrenaline
and there is still a sneaking doubt
that you are more than half machine

the smell of blood is in the air
pain of directive number four
they use you but they do not care
what you used to be before

one more despicable example
how good intentions lead to hell
is dead the one whom you resemble
for whom the weapons toll as bell?


crime and corruption is kind of pandemic
word as a shot makes me finally free
robotic voice from the hidden dynamic -
dead or alive you are coming with me

bullets are blind but they leave the stigmata
bosses are killed with the weapons they gave
powered by lust for revenge and the data
dead or alive I am more than a slave

weird mutilation in the acid
another one attempt to fail
you have to face it
send straight to hell instead of jail
