The orator's never listening |
|
But he understands us perfectly |
|
Our fears, our hopes, our faults, our dreams |
|
This is what I do for him |
|
And this is what he does for me |
|
When your time does |
|
Whatever it is that time does |
|
When it doesn't |
|
At least as far as your concerned |
|
The periphery dissipates |
|
Which is in essence what you might believe was your life |
|
Was never even a part of it |
|
Check mate |
|
Hey! |
|
The rusted screws |
|
Serve a purpose |
|
Bend at the elbows |
|
The arms are not just for melting off |
|
I can be your |
|
Action figure |
|
Pose me in your |
|
Favorite military taunt |
|
And I will do backbends for anyone |
|
Consciousness is fading |
|
Does not leave room for the companionship of another blinking light |
|
The shared experiences |
|
Can be calculated as percentages of time spent |
|
Waiting in line or taking a shit |
|
Is the scariest fucking thing |
|
Checkmate |
|
Hey! |
|
The rusted screws |
|
Serve a purpose |
|
Bend at the elbows |
|
The arms are not just for melting off |
|
I can be your |
|
Action figure |
|
Pose me in your |
|
Favorite military taunt |
|
And I will do backbends for anyone |
|
Warning! |
|
A mob's an angry sea |
|
That swallows everything |
|
Let's band together to protect the weak |
|
The weak they need a banner to fly |
|
And mine is the one that they'll hold up |
|
Fasces |
|
Hey! |
|
Our commodity is your dissent |
|
Your angst, my wallet |
|
Get in my wallet! |
|
Counterculture sure is big business |
|
And this is what I do for it |
|
And this is what it does for me |
