Prime Time Prayer Machine

All the hoods went down before their eyes could shut
There'll be a hanging today
Preacher lets out a yawn as his book is raised
And when the floor drops out the bodies start to swing
Did someone check the gate
One last fairytale before the waterslide

Born to strike a pose
Dangling still
Life spun into a silk
Disposable rope
Shot right through the chest
Our viewers thought that best
Relive the next surprise
Shot right between the eyes
Syndicated prayers
Don't think it's impossible

And when the trumpet sounds
The families all gather round
To see the sausage get made
Everyone here today will
Get to stuff their face
The situation room won't cut out a single thing
Come one and see it again
So don't just kid yourself and
Say that you'd look away

Born to strike a post
Dangling still
Socially acceptable
Murder porn
Butchered when they're veal
Our tasters thought that best
Don't dare you cross that line
Cus a sequel's in progress
