This is a song without a spiritual message
For your entertainment, you've become infected
I'm a jackle in a black leather jacket
That's it, a master of sexed-up deception
Reflections, in a mirrorball, scattershot
Scatterbrain, scattersoul, shake what you got
I'm a king, I'm a horny robot
No soul, no reason, no purpose, no God
I'm a magnet for the opposite gender
I probably won't remember you, but bask in my splendour
I'm cool, I'm a card-carrying member
A defender of every big spender
And I'm addicted to nothing but addiction
Restrictions are an unwelcome friction
I'm a mercenary without a mission
No black, no white, no moral confliction
//Face like a plastic bruise, it's overused
No matter how you play, you're gonna lose
No wars were won with a truce
And no murder mystery gives you the clues//
Conquest can't stop for a rest
The next best dressed man wins the contest
Only the weak believe in the blessed
And only a freak could justify poetry
Forgery is more of an art to me
Pretenders, presenters and originality
Performance is a break from the ordinary
Every day the world sees the same lie of me
It's kinda free, but it ain't genuine
Pig gotta belly ache cuz "pearls before swine"
If it's our time then we're too late
Cuz only a hero tries to outlive a grave
// - //
Bless progress. That's us, I guess
Do no work, get famous and rich
Collateral damage is someone else's mess
We are the future, and the present's our bitch
