Skin Trade Lyrics - Grip Inc.

Lure of the good life, lead into the promised land 

Crossing over borders hand in hand 

Giving trust in the face of danger 

The battle of control has just begun 

Common language, universal tongue 

Serving up salvation, liberators, pimps in disguise 

Enforcing thresholds to survive 

Switching on to satisfy, servants must perform 

Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence 

Enslaved, abused and betrayed 

Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade 

[Chorus :] 

Screaming in silence 

Exchanging skin for gold 

Messiah, turned traitor, leaves all callous and drained 

Providing for hideous and the lame 

Enticed into a snare, held in a prison now called home 

Executing foul gratification 

Exposed to random acts of physical disgust 

Compelled to adhere to the captures corrupt mind 

Switching on to safety, servants must perform 

Foreign acts of desperation, mercantile for existence 

Enslaved, abused and betrayed 

Trapped in the skin trade, trapped in the skin trade 

[Chorus:] 

Screaming in silence 

Exchanging skin for gold 

Slavery sold to, suffering into 

Exchanging skin for gold
