lyrics

I'll be the last man standing in a fiery crash landing
Dust it off and snap photos for the press
I'll be the surrogate leerer through every fun-house mirror
Built inside the carnival of my regrets
I'll be the hired spokesperson for those with no certain path
But hold what they need to draw the map
We deserve a medal of honor
For every settlement offer
From the one percent, to make rent and pay for gas
I spin heads faster than threads at the factory bench
But nobody ever stops to thank the activist's wrench
Who steered clear of every gear until the sabbath he lept
Screaming "I wish I was a hammer hanging banners on steps!"
Pause - Leave it alone
This kind of talk really isn't marketable
Let's just spend our lives pleasing every palette of out key demographic
Next up on The American Middle Class Has Got Talent
Cut the noose loose and sever every tie
No hope. Buy low, sell high
Rediscover what it means to be alive
No hope. Buy low, sell high
Sell me the dream from satellites in the sky
No hope. Buy low, sell high
But act now! There's a limited supply
No hope. Buy low, sell high
Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy face
Hallowed be my memory of you burning at the stake
Hollow be the bones of the Phoenix rising in it's place
To carry the soul over the coals and bringing it back to outer space
(What's this?)
Just a fever dream-catcher for every piece of me
That shattered into bits after I tripped over the Reaper's feet
Nice sickle, buddy! But don't forget who lent you that
Try being a better neighbor or I'll take it back
(Understood?)
I see the forest from the woods
I see sixty acres of kindling and ten more for paper goods
I see my name on every television that matters
I see the overflowing pockets from all of my financial backers
(Who are they?)
The worms of the earth trying to earn their keep
(Who are you?)
The earliest birds the world has ever seen
And every dog that learned new tricks
Is considered a nuisance
I'll hang my wires higher just to tie up these loose ends
I'll sell my vote to the highest bidder
One man can make a difference if he's worth a hundred million
And I'll abuse every losing movement 'til the threat stops
I'm just pumped up off some shit from a sweatshop
