How To Create A Monster Lyrics

spawn them out of selfishness
on a drunken moonless night
add a pinch of hopelessness
just to get it right

fill their lives with disgust
be sure to crush their trust
belittle, terrorize, denigrate
let them know you are their fate

they are your little playthings
beyond a shadow of a doubt
you brought them into this world
and you can take them right back out

be careful what you wish for
'cause wishes do come true
the monster you're creating
looks uncannily like you

foster an atmosphere
of instability and alienation
add a slice of fear
to spice up your creation

when you have them at your feet don't be shy and just repeat:
this hurts me more than it hurts you
I only want what is best for you

be careful what you wish for
'cause wishes do come true
the monster you're creating
looks uncannily like you

neglect them, brutalize them
incorporate psychic numbing
and then harm them some more
till their bodies and souls are sore

be careful what you wish for
'cause wishes do come true
the monster you're creating
looks uncannily like you

it was you all along
how did you get it wrong?
through and through
the only monster here is you
