[Intro]

(Henry! Henry! Henry! Henry! Henry!)

Today I proclaim that a worm has swallowed England! And despite what you have been told, it is not of a face, nor spine, nor legs; it does not want your jobs, your women or your cattle sheds. The Worm lives deep within yourselves and you live deep within the Worm: hatred is the Worm! Envy is the Worm! Ego is the Worm!


[Verse]

We'll break God's rib

To make a scythe

To carve our way out of his cage into the light!


[Interlude]

And very soon, no crops could grow, nor seeds be sown

And all the while, the acid in the belly rose and rose and rose and rose


[Pre-Chorus]

When you meet the Worm

You must kill the Worm


[Chorus]

We were born deep

In the belly

Of a great worm

Of a worm that swallows worlds

Of a worm with no way out

There's a worm in everybody

And we're living in the belly

Of a worm inside the man

And the man's inside the Worm


[Verse]

Father, are we wretched?

Are men no more than just worm gods?

Aren't our bodies like theirs

Soft and pink?

And feeding off the

Corpse of the earth

We are Worm God

We are Worm God

Man is Worm God


[Interlude]

And if you meet the Worm on the road to the promised land

You must kill the Worm


[Chorus]

We were born deep

In the belly

Of a great worm

Of a worm that swallows worlds

Of a worm with no way out

There's a worm in everybody

And we're living in the belly

Of a worm inside the man

And the man's inside the Worm


[Bridge]

I cross my heart and hope to die

I tie the rope and hope it works this time

It looks just like the worm

That's haunted me through all my life

And my life flashed before my eyes

To simpler times, I was a just child

And playing football with my father in the garden

I could hear my mother calling us for tea

I kicked and then the ground just fell beneath my feet

And I saw worms


[Chorus 2]

We were born deep

In the belly

Of a great worm

Of a worm that swallows worlds

Of a worm with no way out

Of a worm called Capital


[Breakdow]

Kill yourself to

Kill the Worm inside you

Die a man

Or live to see

Yourself become a worm god like me!

(A cacophony of maggots)
