Turn on the news
Let's watch the carnage
Crank up the volume
Scream for me!
Vicariously I enjoy, your proxy wars
Show it to me!
Show me their pain
Show me despair
Show how you handle foreign affairs
I watch and watch complain and scream
Now take a breath
And after me:
I am against your petty wars
Your violent attempts at control
I am a hypocrite, I know
'Cause I enjoy your stupid war!
No! Don't change the channel
Leave me alone
I need to see this
Let me go!
Hands off, I need to know
What war we're in
Let's start the show
What's happening?
Who's dying now?
Is he on our side?
I don't care
As long as people die and scream
It's all I need, I voted well
Pulling our strings in chaotic fashion
Praying for our sins, we cannot escape
On a downward spiral, we are crashing now
Into a sea of flames and malcontent
Veto your views, veto your life
Live as we say, fight until you die
Bow your heads to our authority
Don't complain, you put your trust in me
Raise your hand, if you have sinned
The pledge you made, we all believed.
Bow your head, down in despair
As you see them, take the chair
A cathedral made of lies
A monument of bloodshut eyes
A graceless form of society
That you believe is what you need
Pulling our strings in chaotic fashion
Praying for our sins, we cannot escape
On a downward spiral, we are crashing now
Into a sea of flames and malcontent
Veto your views, veto your life
Live as we say, fight until you die
Bow your heads to our authority
Don't complain, you put your trust in me
Another turn
Is what I desire
(Another chance to build an empire)
I'm crumbling down
This mask is breaking
(My sanity is slowly fading)
I trusted you
You let me down
(They filled me up with lead, I'm breaking down)
Turn it off
I've had enough
(I've watched this world collapse, and turn to dust).
