Under their thum
Kicked and beaten like an angry rabid dog
Under their thum
Squashed and squeezed like a dried-up, rinsed out worm
You can't do a thing
Best lie still 'til you wait your turn
Can't do a thing
Your day will come
You're under their thum

Under their thum
And now you feel you're not alone
Under their thum
And now you feel the pressure zone
You can't do a thing
Revenge is sweet but it's sugar free
Can't do a thing
Your day will come
Now you're under their thum
