Judge A Book By Its Cover

Judge a book by its cover but not by its heart
The race for the engine, it's a gate for the art
The youth, their ideals, they fall apart
That's exactly what happens when you push 'em too far

'Cause the devil is on both sides of the mirror
Drain your eyes and see it clearer
And don't look back in your rearview mirror
'Cause the man in the suit is coming nearer and nearer

Oh, tell me something I know
Aren't we pretty, we?
The system is crumbling
But aren't we pretty, we?
And lay your head on these palms that you have
Stay ahead before you're broken in pieces

The cattle comes in from the cold
See you scattered, the feeling you barely know (you better know)
Lay your head on what you hate, what you detest
Stay ahead, keep yourself in pieces

Judge a book by its cover, the anthem in your breath
Better stay away from this society's rats
You're looking everywhere but your vision is blurred
And nothing your thumb presses will ever be heard

You can not kill a book or the buzzing in it
Look at your hands, I'm sure you did it
And pin your ideas or you'll surely miss it
Oh, I've been so wrong if this isn't it

Oh, tell me something I know
Aren't we pretty, we?
The system, what is that?
But aren't we pretty, we?
And lay your head on these palms that you have
Stay ahead before you're broken in pieces

The cattle comes in from the cold
See you scattered, the feeling you barely know (you better know)
Oh, you barely know
Lay your head on what you hate what you detest
Stay ahead, keep yourself in pieces
The cattle comes

Oh, tell me something I know
This ain't pretty
Webcam the world, show me
This ain't pretty
All lies, our faults die slowly
This ain't pretty
Tell me something I know
This ain't pretty
