Welcome to the world, young man

Welcome to the world that I have planned for you

It's all come true

Welcome to the city's gates,

camps of concentration for the poor

But not at my door

Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes

Watching you, watching me

Welcome to you new apartment, welcome to your block of fear

You're welcome here

Go away!

Locked inside a concrete cage with those cameras for my eyes

Outside are the population, the corpses and the flies

Got to keep my carpets clean,

you know there's mites and rats and mites and

things living in a shagpile

Fear of death is my recipe for life and I'm

locked in and I like it that way

CHORUS:

I see no way out of here

There is no way out of here

I see no way out of here

Here I sit at my windowbox, I put flowers on the rocks for you

I don't put water on the cracks

because you know what cracks can do

Gotta keep myself secure, you know there's

emotions feelings, killer bugs live in a shagpile

Fear of death is the guarantee of safety and I'm

locked in and I like it that way

REPEAT CHORUS

No way out!

Flowers in the window box is blooming

I pour water on the rocks so they won't die

The pattern on the carpet shows I'm human

I don't step on the foolish cracks, so I won't fry

The sky is blue, the weather seems appealing

I lay my hand upon the armoured glass

No more blood, I think my wound is healing

Should I open it up, give it a try?

SOLO

Welcome to the world, young man

Welcome to the world that I have planned for you

It's all come true

Welcome to the city's gates,

camps of concentration for the poor

But not at your door

Welcome to the searchlights and the TV-eyes

Watching me, watching you, watching me

REPEAT CHORUS( x some more)
