So Hot Right Now
01:35

|

Vintage store shopping trust fund kids with white sinuses
Smart phones in stupid hands
Fat boys in skinny pants
So hot right now
There's nothing to think about
Why bother thinking about anything but fashion when the media is all you know
A generation of narcissism
They drink fast, but they think slow
So hot right now
Nothing to think about
So hot right now
Suck on the old cash cow
Hey, who is she wearing
Hey, ignore another school shooting
Hey, I just love the design
Hey, ignore another suicide
So hot right now
There's nothing to think about
Why bother thinking about anything but drinking when the media is all you know
A generation of narcissism
They drink fast, but they think slow
So hot right now
Nothing to think about
So hot right now
Suck on the old cash cow

Dear Harper

The time has come to take your stolen crown away
To demand your dues all be repaid
Your promises like viruses infect
You make me sick
Read the fine print, or is the oil too thick?
You've had your chance to stop the damage done
I won't stop now, not 'til this battle's won
You've had your change to stop the damage done
I won't stop now, this fight has just begun
Sedate the masses with your bullshit grin (Hey!)
I won't believe a word of your goddamn shit
You said enough by doing nothing at al (Hey!)
We built your tower, now you'll watch it fall
The time has come to take your stolen crown away
To demand your dues all be repaid
Your promises like viruses infect
You make me sick
Read the fine print, or is the oil too thick?
You've had your chance to stop the damage done
I won't stop now, not 'til this battle's won
You've had your change to stop the damage done
I won't stop now, this fight has just begun

American Dream
02:14
|
|

You see him walk these streets, familiar face living downtown
Holding up bar stool seats, and never putting his drink down
A local waste of life, a dirty stain on your polished scene
Cringe as he stumbles by, you don't know where this bum has been, hey!
A blank stare, you can't spare any change
It's not your life to save
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Find god, get on your knees and pray
Sell your soul and you might be saved
Duty calls, you've gotta fight for the man
When duty calls you've gotta fight for the man
Sign him up and fly him east, a one way ticket to the new 'Nam
He wasn't there to keep the peace, draining blood in the hot sand
A blank stare, you can't spare any change
It's not your life to save
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Find god, get on your knees and pray
Sell your soul and you might be saved
Spoken: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
Unless, of course, you are sick, marginalized, different, unable, or unwilling to feed the machine that broke you, and that has no intention of fixing you.
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Put your faith in the American dream, god bless the American dream
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Put your faith in the American dream, just believe in the American dream
Put your faith in the American dream, god bless the American

Martyr's Cross
03:01
|
|
||
Palms bloodied by the mark of the martyr
You're telling stories, gotta make them believe
Clock's tick, tick, ticking like a timebomb
About to blow open your trail of deceit
You keep talking but the crowd is dead
You keep talking so you know you're alive
You're your biggest fan, give yourself a hand
Each word reaffirms what you think you've been concealing
I see right through the charade
Stand tall on your soapbox, preach to get yourself off
(You play god)
Think no one is right, and you can never be wrong
(On your cross)
Always searching for a source of attention
You wear your problems like a badge on your breast
Crave sympathy from strangers to make you feel
Worthy, and different, and so much better than them
I've got your sickness locked between my crosshairs
Nailed you down to your holy cross
You can't deny it, you're fucking lying
So buried in shit now that you've started to believe it
I see right through the charade
Stand tall on your soapbox, preach to get yourself off
(You play god)
Think no one is right, and you can never be wrong
(On your cross)
It's started pushing down, pushing down
Your fucking ego has a life of its own
It will take you down, take you down
You'll be left with no one, yeah!
You're on your own
Stand tall on your soapbox, preach to get yourself off
(You play god)
Think no one is right, and you can never be wrong
(On your cross)

Surgery
01:34

Prepare the operating room
(Cut it out, throw it away)
Sanitize and sharpen all the tools
(Cut it out, throw it away)
Inform the patient of the risk
(Cut it out, throw it away)
Of a procedure such as this
It's an excision of the part of the brain
That makes you hurt
And makes you hate
You can't say "faggot" anymore
(Cut it out, throw it away)
Or call a strong woman a "whore"
(Cut it out, just cut it out, yeah!)
Put down your fists and practice art
(Cut it out, throw it away)
Now that I've cut your head apart
This might leave a scar
Just try a little foundation, baby
It worked on her black eye
She hid what you did from her family
But you can't hide from this surgery
It's an excision of the part of the brain
That makes you hurt
And makes you hate
I'll change your mind and things you say
(Cut it out, throw it away)
I'll change your mind and things you say
(Cut it out, throw it away)
I'll change your mind and things you say
(Cut it out, throw it away)
I'll change your mind and things you say
