Always fiending for vain validation and vicious vanity Some might think of you as royalty But I won't ever kiss that tarnished ring Awestruck, caught in the limelight running amok Better watch your step or else it's tough luck (When you drag your name through the mud) For such a show-off you don't got much to show for it You resulted in a cult that assaulted the earth You're a symptom but not the disease Am I just a cog in this well-oiled machine Or a ghost in the shell? Some days it hurts like hell, but still we crank them out Oh well, oh well We live like common zombies, and it haunts me Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty Because you'll always be playing dirty Oh, for crying out loud I want nothing to do with the in-crowd You've become a caricature of your former self You're a symptom but not the disease Am I just a cog in this well-oiled machine Or a ghost in the shell? Some days it hurts like hell, but still we crank them out Oh well, oh well We live like common zombies, and it haunts me Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty Because you'll always be playing dirty Out of sight, out of mind your step You'll deceive them and leave them for dead It's time to take out the trash And end the age of gilded garbage Let's roll up the frayed and blood-stained red carpet There's dirty secrets you've been keeping Behind closed doors your heart is racing Inside this bag of bones there's a skeleton key That's been calling your name for years You're so sick, you need to be quarantined Am I just a cog in this old broken machine? I'm feeling quite unwell, it always hurts like hell We gotta end this now, right now, right now We live like common zombies, and it haunts me Cut me off a cut above the rest like gangrene Brainwash, then rinse and repeat just for the novelty Because you'll always be playing dirty
