Could you give it a rest already, take a look at all the people you've enthralled Now that your hand's unsteady Put the pen to paper mr. know it all It's too late now to question what we knew was coming fast A beam of indiscretion woven through your checkered past But every time you think you know You're really in the dark You might light a little candle in your heart Before you embark Could you give it a rest already Take a look at all the people you've enthralled Now that your hand's unsteady Put the pen to paper mr. know it all Mr. Indecision drove his car into a wall As he lay dying, contemplating Who he'd like to call They swept the pieces up And lay a ribbon on the ground Now the strangers scatter flowers all around But don't make a sound

I talk to people But I'm not sure if they are Since I've been told that everybody is a star Behind the lipstick girl I overheard her say, "My friends are dead and gone But they were born that way" Remote controlled soul isn't fictional It's explicitly real You don't wanna let them hear you say That you're tired of the way You're paid to feel The new atrocity was hanging in the air Same as the old one but the kids don't seem to care Cause they can make it cheaper Than they ever have before Hands down the waistbands For the latest painted whore Remote controlled soul isn't fictional It's explicitly real You don't wanna let them hear you say That you're tired of the way You're paid to feel Dear friend, We are writing to inform you That your abject failure to conform to Our exacting standards And contractual demands Constitutes a breach of our good faith This shrinking world is filled with growing seas of trash Stand in line and wait to toss in all your worthless cash You can work forever on until you're finally snuffed And they'll deny you at the gates Cause you don't have enough Remote controlled soul isn't fictional It's explicitly real You don't wanna let them hear you say That you're tired of the way You're paid to feel Dear friend we are writing to inform you That your abject failure to conform to Our exacting standards and contractual demands Constitutes a breach of our good faith So sad but it's so true That it could be me And it could be you And who'd kill who for their name in lights Text your votes Tune in tonight

Calling Father Doran In the long black boots Can you see the forest for the trees The gallows for the noose Do you understand the vow you've taken? Realize the risk you run in breaking it? Whoa are you faking? See everyone's a criminal In one way or the other Like the clergy making footprints In the sand with their young lovers While the papacy is slapping wrists The other hand is doling out the eucharist The lovers and liars Eventually will wither and retire If this is the sum of your desires It's your life on fire Place your hand upon your heart Salute the corporation That is sweeping out the last remains Of your imagination While you're licensing your family name Keep one eye on your neighbors As they do the same The stars and stripes are making room For ad space on the border So your presidents and parliament They come made to order Are you listening on judgement day For them to call your man? With his white gloves and his South American tan Now's the time when I, the singer Feed you affirmations That every choice you make in life Will lead to celebration Everything you want and more Let your whole life be a motherfuckin Candy store The lovers and liars Eventually will wither and retire If this is the sum of your desires It's your life on fire
