An American Paradox

歌詞

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
