Slipping Lyrics by Joss Whedon

0

HORRIBLE
Look at these people
Amazing how sheep’ll
Show up for the slaughter
No one condemning you
Lined up like lemmings
You led to the water

Why can’t they see what I see?
Why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s too pricey
For them to realize
Your disguise is slipping
I think you’re slipping

Now that your savior is
Still as the grave you’re
Beginning to fear me
Like cavemen fear thunder
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?

I bring you pain
The kind you can’t suffer quietly
Fire up your brain
Remind you inside you’re rioting
Society is slipping
Everything’s slipping away

So…
Go ahead
Run away
Say it was "horrible"
Spread the word
Tell a friend
Tell them the tale
Get a pic
Do a blog
Heroes are over with
Look at him
Not a word
Hammer, meet nail

Then I win
Then I get
Everything I ever
All the cash
All the fame
And social change
Anarchy
That I run

It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn
Burn
(Yeah, it’s two r’s. H, O, R, R, yeah, right.)
Burn

No sign of Penny
Good, I would give anything not to have her see
It’s gonna be bloody
Head up, Billy, buddy
There’s no time for mercy
Here goes no mercy…
