  • Do you mean this horny creep
    Set upon weary feet
    Who looks in need of sleep
    That doesn't come

    This twisted, tortured mess
    This bed of sinfulness
    Who's longing for some rest
    And feeling numb

    What do you expect of me
    What is it you want?
    Whatever you've planned for me
    I'm not the one

    A vicious appetite
    Visits me each night
    And won't be satisfied
    Won't be denied

    An unbearable pain
    A beating in my brain
    That leaves the mark of Cain
    Right here inside

    What am I supposed to do?
    When everything that I've done
    Is leading me to conclude
    I'm not the one

    Whatever I've done
    I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
    Whatever I've done
    I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
    Whatever I've done
    Whatever, whatever

    Is there something you need from me?
    Are you having your fun?
    I never agreed to be
    Your holy one

    Whatever I've done
    I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
    Whatever I've done
    Whatever, whatever
    I've been staring down the barrel of a gun
    Whatever I've done
    Whatever, whatever
    I've been staring down the barrel of a gun Writer/s: Martin Gore
