(Verse 1)
Dead. Why are they dead?
We're fucked. Right in the head (now)
Screwed. without a clue.
Got nothing. Else left to lose (fuck)
Cage. Stuck in a cage.
Demons. Stuck in their rage (yes)
Phase. In a blind phase.
Euphoric. Stuck in a haze (yes)
(Prechorus)
Fucked and lost in a demented daze, caught in a haze, with no place to go. Sit in idle, Burn the palace, feed the leeches with no life to know.
(Verse 2)
Pariahs. We are pariahs.
Bred. By the fuckin liars (You cunt!)
Saved. By fake idolaters
Drugged. By the fake messiahs (you scabs!)
Declined. By the higher powers
Denied. By the ivory towered (you pawns!)
Fucked. By common man.
Dead. Without a plan (we're fucked!)
(Prechorus)
Fucked and lost in a demented daze, caught in a haze, with no place to go. Sit in idle, Burn the palace, feed the leeches with no life to know.
(Chorus)
Now. You see. How clear, the picture is now.
The tragedy, of which you led us down.
No thought, no proof, of which you knew.
You pursued, nothing of that is valued true.
(Bridge)
See. What do you see%
Where do you go?
What have you fought for?
What have you done?
What do you know?
Where do you come from?
Is there a place that we know?
Is this place we call home?
(Chorus)
Now. You see. How clear, the picture is now.
The tragedy, of which you led us down.
No thought, no proof, of which you knew.
You pursued, nothing of that is valued true.
