Culture King
You ride in with the crazies from out of town
Shout out from a bullhorn, "burn it down"
Walk around in face paint made for clowns
Your rebel freakshow's come unwound
You're carrying a cross to make the claim
That you're doing it all in Jesus' name
While foaming at the mouth hellbent on pain
Where's the shame?
Culture king where'd you get off thinkin'
Your high horse could ride all over this town?
What gave you the right
To show us all up just to put us all down?
Save your pre-conceived conclusions
For your armchair constitution
Revel in your revelation
Just don't seek my validation
Culture king
Oh oh - culture king
You trade in on your virtue like it's gold
You're out to try to fade the status quo
Start to bend the truth to break the mold
Make due process bear the blow
What happened to the rules of give and take?
Is there not a lot of profit in good faith?
Have you never made your own mistakes?
For Christ sake's
Culture king where'd you get off thinkin'
Your high horse could ride all over this town?
What gave you the right
To show us all up just to put us all down?
Save your pre-conceived conclusions
For your armchair constitution
Revel in your revelation
Just don't seek my validation
Culture king
Oh oh - culture king
Well your incognito
Altar ego
Is tearing people down
Crude and loud
Sayin' "get lost and don't get found"
Your blind ambition
Has made its mission
To wear division like a crown
Are you proud?
So you say that there ain't no ground to give
But how long can you keep on diggin' in?
Even your straw-man is wearin' thin
You made your point: but tell me was it worth the win?
Every holy roller's got their vice
Carvin' their words to maim and slice
But even the righteous pay a price
Roll the dice
Culture king where'd you get off thinkin'
Your high horse could ride all over this town?
What gave you the right
To show us all up just to put us all down?
Save your pre-conceived conclusions
For your armchair constitution
Revel in your revelation
Just don't seek my validation
Culture king
Oh oh - culture king
Shout out from a bullhorn, "burn it down"
Walk around in face paint made for clowns
Your rebel freakshow's come unwound
You're carrying a cross to make the claim
That you're doing it all in Jesus' name
While foaming at the mouth hellbent on pain
Where's the shame?
Culture king where'd you get off thinkin'
Your high horse could ride all over this town?
What gave you the right
To show us all up just to put us all down?
Save your pre-conceived conclusions
For your armchair constitution
Revel in your revelation
Just don't seek my validation
Culture king
Oh oh - culture king
You trade in on your virtue like it's gold
You're out to try to fade the status quo
Start to bend the truth to break the mold
