lyrics

I offer my eyes in brain dead worship
To your ruthless talking heads
Endless breathless comments on your commentary
From you, the talking dead

Every week you play a badly written act up on your stage
With your puppets moved by strings
Quiet forces moving pieces from behind the camera’s eye
Racist tailors of every scene


We the living suffer and
Wish that we were dead
Sacrifice our golden hours

Your illuminated presence
Fills the glowing of our screens
Belies your inner darkness
Your chatter drowns your screams



Take my soul out through my ears and eyes slowly
With lens and microphone
I'll take the warm embrace of precious fleeting screen time
Sweetest loving’s afterglow

Hell is just the newest hip vacation destination
Damnation is the new yoga
Twist your words and your life into lies for the camera
If you’re looking for it to love ya


We the living suffer and
Wish that we were dead
Sacrifice our golden hours

Your illuminated presence
Fills the glowing of our screens
Belies your inner darkness
Your chatter drowns your screams


One last time for all the souls
Cluttering up the screen
The idiots who went and sold it all
For one sweet gasp of fame

A round of applause to the shadows, please
For the criminal reptilians
Manufacturing the reality
These TV heads are livin' in

One last take for all the rubes
Who love shadows on the wall
Starstruck eyes in flick'ring light
Totally enthralled

All the world's a stage for them
We watch from TV cells
Why play a harp in endless heaven
When there's TruTV in hell


One last time for all the souls
Dying to take our place
The idiots who'd sell it all
To be a talking face

One last take for all the rubes
Who love the shadows on the wall
For a moment in the flick'ring light
They'd gladly trade it all
