lyrics

Valleys become back alleys
War zone surfacing
Interrogation Interrogation Interrogation

I am the young man who disappears suddenly off a street corner in the middle of the afternoon
And I am the young man who's taken into a room in a police station
I get inside and there's all these men standing around
They tell me to get against the wall legs spread palms flat
I am the young man who is beaten on the kidneys with clubs
This wasn't punishment for refusing to answer certain questions
They didn't ask me any questions

I didn't know what the hell was going on
I am the young man who is taken into another room
It's painted this sick color of lavender
Concrete floors Concrete ceilings Cinderblock walls
Behind the walls I can hear the sound of these screams
Some are familiar – the sound of people screaming
A child screaming – a woman screaming
And I am told this is my family
My mother My brother My sister My father
They're screaming
And I'm told they'll die if I don't answer certain questions

And I am the young man who is put on a table and stripped of all my clothes
My legs are held open and a soldier comes over with a hammer and nails
I got eight guys holding me down
I got two guys on each arm – two guys on each leg
This soldier comes over and he's got a handful of nails and he's got a hammer
He nails my testicles to the table and a wire is wrapped around my penis
And they laugh and two fine wires are strung between my teeth
A couple of wires are placed inside of my ears and a bucket of water is splashed all across my body
And a generator is turned on and the soldiers crank it up and it releases electricity and it releases electricity
And I am the young man who is pissing blood and water

And you thought I was just newsprint
You thought I was just photos
You thought I was words and pictures you'd seen a thousand times
