One gaze from its electric eye

Immortalizes you forever in their hearts and minds

Messiah of the people savior of the servants

On this runaway train without a cause



Everyday I tell myself

I gotta find a way out of this American paradox

Paddlin' like a dog to the bone that's going to splinter me

And they know what's best for my life



Winding backwards it creates a discord

That calls itself progression on a grander scale

The supermodel monster turned crackhead

At the wheel of this automated virgin sacrifice



Everybody step in line

It's time to get your piece of the American paradox

Bitin' at the hand that fed me this illusion

Now I'm in for the ride of my life



This perversion gains its momentum

My resistance turns to fear at its changing face

I sold my soul to forces still unknown

And I don't want it back



Prescription dementia riddle-ated protection

From impurities of the heart and mind

I've cancelled my subscription broken covenant

Now there is no question whose side are you on?



Everyday I tell myself

I gotta find a way out of this American paradox

Bitin' at the hand that fed me this illusion

Now I'm in for the ride of my life



I don't want to feed myself from the appetite of excess

And I don't want to be another voice in the wind

Got it easy in a world that's not supposed to be

It makes me wanna rip, I think too much about me



In a world full of mirrors your reflection is all you see

And I can't stand what's becoming of me

So I'll scratch my eyes out rip this face off

And rebuild something new for the world to choke on
