The victims and the victimizers
Joined in their little dance
The latter sets up the rules of the game
While the former leaves it all up to chance
They both need each other
The way a baby needs its mother
"You know you want it, you know you need it
You have a hunger and I feed it"
"Yeah I want it, yeah I need it
Sign the contract, no need to read it"
It's a mean business
A mean, mean business
The troubled and the troublemakers
Joined hand in hand
The latter wants to stir up the pot
The former merely follows command
The psycho and the sycophant
Supplier and the supplicant
"You wanna eat it, you wanna suck it
You wanna throw it down and fuck it"
"I wanna eat it, I wanna drink it
Where's the contract, let me ink it"
