lyrics

Accentuate inadequacies
Deep in the heart of the swarm
Arcane cataclysms writhing and deformed
Transcendent appendage deemed
A worthless mechanism
Once the commodity trance sets in
They never sleep the same again
The self-destructive delirium springs forth from a flawed ideology
Mind numbing intoxicants
Control demystified
Yearning for omnipotence
Intellect override
Where is the resistance?
Lost in a hypnotic bliss
Hopeless and disillusioned by the growing bureaucracy
Imminent annihilation
Controls the airwaves each night
Escape through inebriation
The only rational way to deal with the unrelenting boredom that comes from modern existence
Who’s in charge of the show?
Subconscious denizens
What’s the plot, doesn’t anyone know?
Incomprehensible
Moron proliferation, new vacant minds to subjugate
Not evolving, not evolving at all
Progress undetected
Bow at the alter of the commerce messiah
The god of beer and circuses
Enslaved by the dominator drug
Spreading the incompetence
But this empire’s ephemeral ‘cause we’re a cancerous mess
And when the walls of flesh break down
We won’t remember how to lie
