We just want you to know we really care about you, Do as we say and utopia waits for you. Ignore the blood and the bones all around your feet. No need to think it'll ruin the harmony. There's no room for dissonance. There's no need for your two cents. Never talk back to me again. My beloved citizen. Where are you going? Spill the beans. The outside world is cold and riddled with disease. Everything is here, what more do you need? Get on your knees and promise that you'll never, never leave. There's no room for dissonance. There's no need for your two cents. Never talk back to me again. My beloved citizen. I'm watching you.

Would you stay beside me 'til the end? Would you turn your back on all of them? Would you taint your soul, stain your hands? I'll spread you like a flame across the land. The game is rigged, so why not cheat? My venom with yours, oh so sweet. Let's burn it all, go out in style. Drink with the snakes and crocodiles. Just you and me, just you and me. That's all we need. Our foes beneath the poison tree. Just you and me, just you and me. That's all we need. Our flower blooms, eternally.

I've accepted that I'm never gonna make it large. I'm getting older and I really don't want to starve. All I want is a job that I don't mind. Alas, the puzzle pieces multiply all the time. You'll never be a rockstar, that's okay. They're all self-important morons, anyway. People making millions off your soul. You'll never be a rockstar, no no no. I'm getting better with the cognitive dissonance. But still, playing guitar just makes sense. What a whiny twat I must seem. But it's time to wake up from the dream. You'll never be a rockstar, that's okay. All the kids are into Tik-Tok, anyway. People making millions off your soul. You'll never be a rockstar, no no no. Solipsistic, egotistic is the path. Makes sense it's damn hard to make a living off art. Never wanted the fame, the money or girls. I guess there's other things I can offer the world.

United, we stand. How have we not learned? We brothers, divided. The family burns. The Pharoahs are coming, Pyramids and gold. Distractions, propaganda, Turn the neighbour's heart cold. We've seen it time and time again. Watch for your blind-spots, my dear friend. Why do we turn against each other? They line their pockets while we fight. A somber rain, the tears of mothers. Cigars and laughter as we die. Sacrifices, made in vain. Must find the way. Light the beacons, heed the call. Cast fear away. You're gonna need me, I'm gonna need you If it hits the fan. Forget the labels and the dogma, Take my hand. We've seen it time and time again. Watch for your blind-spots, my dear friend. Why do we turn against each other? They line their pockets while we fight. A somber rain, the tears of mothers. Cigars and laughter as we die.
