lyrics

Throw my boots on the dirty floor
Too tired to open the closet door
Been a long shift
Been a rough week
Living life in a rat race behind the scenes

Sleep, don't dream, we're born to bleed
Expendable apes, we are what we eat
Magazine, TV, Internet, Celebrity
You know what I mean?

I'm the low class citizen, can't you tell?
Building heaven while I'm livin' in hell
You've disenchanted me with your red carpet fantasies
If we're all equal then how come you're more equal than me?

Why do we worship these counterfeit kings and queens?
They're just the airbrushed, overpaid minorities
They get to live big, we get to watch 'em fall
Shocked to find out that they're no better then us at all

We do the work
We write the bills
For you and your mansion
And your gutful of pills

We are the engine
That gives you your steam
And keeps you young
Like we wish we could be

We watch the shows
We see the ads
We buy the clothes
Don't question the fads

We've let you tell us how it should be
But now I've got a baseball bat and you're on TV

Every concert hall's a cathedral
Every theatre's a church
Where you practice your religion
And sacrifice your self worth
Can I get an amen?
