Gone Viral

Fool them once and get laughed offstage
Fool them twice and you've got it made
Put all your actions and thoughts on display
Throw away your soul to advance the decay

Ruinous excursion from a gluttonous cause
A race towards self-destruction set to roaring applause
Every detail matters to the temperamental devotees
So just give them what they want to feed the profit disease

You've accomplished your ambition
Now lose yourself in the addiction

You've gone viral, you've gone primal
It's an endless reprisal
There is no survival
You've gone viral

The ruling cult of stardom calls for lethal induction
Sell your soul for profit to advance the destruction
Reap the screams of reverence from those you ignore
Then pledge yourself to excess for your carnal reward

A California hilltop with a mansion to bless
A diamond studded Lamborghini outruns the press
A public mental breakdown when you finally implode
And a golden plated coffin as your final abode

Narcissistic power play
Hanging on every word you say
Fear of dissolving in the winds of time
So order all your addicts to fall in line

Under the watchful gaze of all the world's lenses
The once loyal fans have become blood lusted towards your demise
Now as the flames are rising and there's nowhere left to run
There's only one way out for you

You've gone viral, you've gone primal
It's an endless reprisal
There is no survival
You've gone viral

You've gone viral, you've gone primal
It's an endless reprisal
There is no survival
You've gone viral
