lyrics

Always fiending for vain validation and vicious vanity
Some might think of you as royalty
But I won't ever kiss that tarnished ring

Awestruck, caught in the limelight running amok, better watch your step or else it's tough luck when you drag your name through the mud

For such a show off you don't got much to show for it
You resulted in a cult that assaulted the earth

You're a symptom but not the disease
Am I just a cog in this well-oiled machine
Or a ghost in the shell?
Some days it hurts like hell, but still we crank them out, oh well, oh well
We live like common zombies and it haunts me
Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene
Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty
Because you'll always be playing dirty

Oh for crying out loud, I want nothing to do with the in-crowd
You've become a caricature of your former self

You're a symptom but not the disease
Am I just a cog in this well-oiled machine
Or a ghost in the shell?
Some days it hurts like hell, but still we crank them out, oh well, oh well
We live like common zombies and it haunts me
Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene
Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty
Because you'll always be playing dirty

Out of sight, out of mind your step
You'll deceive them and leave them for dead
It's time to take out the trash and end the age of gilded garbage
Let's roll up the frayed and blood stained red carpet

There's dirty secrets you've been keeping
Behind closed doors your heart is racing
Inside this bag of bones there's a skeleton key that's been calling your name for years

You're so sick you need to be quarantined
Am I just a cog in this old broken machine?
I'm feeling quite unwell, it always hurts like hell
We gotta end this now, right now, right now
We live like common zombies and it haunts me
Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene
Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty, because you'll always be playing dirty
