Emperor

I know I'm neither hot or cold
I wanna spit myself
Out of my mouth
I can't keep the vomit down
I wanna get real right with God
I wanna live in a monastery
I really dig the robes

I can feel the judgement of the guillotine sting
I can smell the city walls sinking in sin
It's apocalyptic and animatrictic
I can see the crib creep
Let the Cabal fall

The emperor has got no clothes on
There's an elephant in the room
The emperor has got no clothes on
There's an elephant in the room
Corrupted by the digital age
Thе mark's on our face
It's an idol torn from a porno page
And you wonder why our culturе's war
Guilt and algorithm competition for an outlaw's dog

You're a slave to something if you know it or not
Freedom isn't free, it's always got a hidden cost
Hate to burst your bubble, we're all deep in trouble
They just want your soul, man, pay it on the double

I won't bow to that golden cough
We've been led down the garden path
I won't bow to that golden cough
We've been led down the garden path

We've got a brave new world, the people so unwell
They take their morning coffee with their morning pills
To face a faceless corporate job
Is this the future we all want? It's the one we've got

How the hell did we all let our images distort
There's a higher calling, give your riches to the poor
You can still resist this palliative existence
You can stop the rot and let the??? consume your core

The emperor has got no clothes on
There's an elephant in the room

Song for a change, reject all the rage
Progress is pointless if it's for progress' sake
If you've walked down the wrong road
Someone's got to make a final call
And maybe walk back home

You weren't born a cynic comfort every single day
Uncle to denial, Turn the other cheek again
Fight the system while we're in single file
Take the narrow path, wait, do this thing in style

I won't bow to their golden cough
We've been led down the garden path
