lyrics

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
