Quarter Shorter

Wanders through the crowd not quite knowing what he sees
Not a symptom but the cause, the dirty sound of reverse applause
A different shade of sheep
In another state of sleep

Right now everybody's got something to say
Booms loud in and out of everyday
It's easy work to build a wall, when you limit your sight by taking out an eye
You only need one

Acolyte
To keep your dream alive
Acolyte
To tuck you in at night
Acolyte
To keep that lie alive
Acolyte

In the fog of the gaslight
I see the reason leave your eyes
Pusher got a pushback now he's high on his own supply
You can keep your guns 'cause I just want your triggers
I don't deal in figures so hold on to your facts

Perception is the only truth, opinion's alma mater
Just another faucet, drippin dirty water

Dollar up but quarter shorter
Dollar up but quarter shorter

Bark at everyone you see
Who is on your lawn
It used to be ours, used to be free
But now it's privatized, lobotomized, and no parking signs
Unless you agree
I know you can hear me but it's not processing
In the natural selection of key words only headlines survive
The expanse from mouth to ear
The rest is lost in cacophony
Of what you want to hear

Acolyte
To keep your dream alive
Acolyte
To got to got to listen
Acolyte
To keep that lie alive
Acolyte

In the fog of the gaslight
I see the reason leave your eyes
Pusher got a pushback now he's high on his own supply
You can keep your guns 'cause I just want your triggers
I don't deal in facts so hold on to your figures

Perception is the only truth, opinion's alma mater
Just another faucet, drippin dirty water

Dollar up but quarter shorter
Dollar up but quarter shorter

Dollar up but quarter shorter
Dollar up but quarter shorter
