Written by chris cornellI know you're half awake yeah i know hateAnd i know how you do itHold it don't it outDon't get it right or wrong no i don't get itI know you're afraid half amazedAll insane i know it's all a cageAnd all arrange and altogether goneCause you and me we're averageWith simple minds and lungs and eyes and skinYou and me we're hopeless with nowhere heartsSo tear it out and open itI'm giving blood tonight don't care how don't care whyI'm giving blood tonight and i feel just likeI could give it allShow me and hand me down and hang me up aloneAnd cold and bury meShow me and throw me out and hold me downAnd air me out and wear meI know you're half afraid half amazed all insaneI know it's all a cage and all a rageAnd altogether goneCome away and come with me and come around and come and seeAnd cover up and come along before race before the calmAnd he walks out and fires the gun happy with the things he wonThe head of god on the wall ahead of us the heads of us
