lyrics

VERSE 1
God is so proud of me
'cause I went to the finest school in America;
a place where the irony is wasted on the fool
who believes in authority, in the right to rule,
a King among the sheep
Then it dawned on me that there really was no reason

PRE-CHORUS
It was subliminal,
but the sun was slowly setting on America
as the folk were surely betting on a miracle
See the tentacle, the predator was coming back for its' prey
They couldn't see it though,
'till the letter broke the new world at the funeral
The news broke that the FED wasn't quite federal
Oh, the charlatan deems all BS as credible

CHORUS
Great entertainment down there in America,
front row seat at the show
Used to get down, now they just sit and stare at ya,
everyone's got somewhere to go
Why would you care what I do with my energy?
Now I don't have to pretend
that anything I hate it what I love
since the enemy of my worst enemy is my friend

VERSE 2
Two eyes shut and a third eye to see,
so if you think outside the box then you're coming with me
Might not get everything you want, but you'll get what you need
and when the world locks down I still gotta be free
No, you can't cheat death when you are the disease,
down on your knees, my finder's fee is fine to me
It kinda feel like the plot's been lost,
plot's been lost forever

PRE-CHORUS
It was subliminal,
but the sun was slowly setting on America
as the folk were surely betting on a miracle
See the tentacle, the predator was coming back for its' prey
They couldn't see it though,
'till the letter broke the new world at the funeral
The news broke that the FED wasn't quite federal
Oh, the charlatan deems all BS as credible

CHORUS
Great entertainment down there in America,
front row seat at the show
Used to get down, now they just sit and stare at ya,
everyone's got somewhere to go
Why would you care what I do with my energy?
Now I don't have to pretend
that anything I hate it what I love
since the enemy of my worst enemy is my friend

BRIDGE
Sunshine, will you come my way?
Sunshine come and heal my sickness
(All messed up, but it ain't that bad though
Messed up, but it ain't that bad though)
