lyrics

"You'll measure your life out in coffee spoons of calorie intake.
Give us a part of you to lose with every handshake."

"Pretend, follow along. You can't go wrong.
Work hard, you can't go wrong. Follow along.
Pretend, follow along, you can't go wrong."

"You'll pick out your wife and life-long dreams by dead reckoning.
You'll ignore the cries and screams of your soul beckoning."

"Sit still in plastic chairs. Recite your prayers. Count the exact amount.
It's all about numbers (letters, tone, and style) in sequence. There are no secrets."

This is too far gone.
I'll prove them wrong
I'll prove them wrong.
I'll prove you wrong.
