lyrics

Pacify the willing masses

And they all look just like you
Disconnected at the neck
Head's in the clouds or is it just not on your shoulders?
Sensing premonitions they've got the ammunition to annihilate your self control

Don't you look so proud?
Can't practice what you preach with a foot in your mouth

You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity

Try and monopolize
Fear of the afterlife
Over and over

You're feeling anxious when pews won't fill themselves

Threatened by a safer space
Does he approve of all your rage?
Tell us of your loving ways
Then focus on the hate

Don't you look so proud?
Can't practice what you preach with a foot in your mouth

You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity

I hear your voices, offended noises
Are we the sheep if he's your shepherd?

You've got it all, you'll never change, you'll never fade. Will you?

You fan the flames again
Highlight our differences
And line your pockets while we burn for eternity

Try and monopolize
Fear of the afterlife
Over and over
