Lyrics[edit | edit source]

[Billy: This is an upportunity to say that we do all original music. It's not that we don't think other songs are nice but, you know. We figure you appreciate it a lot more in your heart if we're trying to do something for real and a lot of these songs you hear have been written in the last month, month and a half. We're constantly try and churn out new material so that our audience doesn't get bored with it.]

look at me so couragous and brave
took me sleeveless in the street
i can pull so many parts off
hard where to start to reach

pull, pull, pull apart
oh, wouldn't it be fun
i could start
i prefer the glorious vanity
in the glory of vanity

i am the sacrifice
i am the golden lamb
on a magic pedestal
killed by the man
i am the sacrifice
i am the golden lamb
on a magic pedestal
killed by the man

i could not survive alone
don't know where i'd go
i know you're for real
but am i?

you're looking so courageous at me
to feel assets lodged in the seam
up high hold
i don't want no pain

i am the sacrifice
i am the golden lamb
on a magic pedestal
killed by the man
i am the sacrifice
i am the golden lamb
on a magic pedestal
killed by the man

i am the sacrifice
i am the sacrifice
i am the sacrifice

i am the sacrifice
