An American Paradox
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
Rebuild something new for the world to choke on!
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
Rebuild something new for the world to choke on!
