[Verse 1]

If one day you'd backed up

A promise you made

We'd have to make it a holiday

'Cause we both know

That day would never come again

And if one day your word

Was as good as gold

It'd be too late 'cause I'd be too old

I don't think a human being

Could live that long

[Refrain]

I never gave a damn

I was never even a fan

The only thing that

Makes me smile is your pain

I don't even care

When did you treat anyone fair?

To say I'm not enjoying this

Would be insane

[Pre-Chorus]

Sodium Pentothal was an idea I had

But what does the truth mean now

To all the  lost souls you've grabbed?

A mass delusion, mass delusion

There's no confusion, no confusion

Just a hypocrite who'd never cop to it

[Chorus]

You're in total control

And you're still a liar

I can't drink from the cup

I question your authority

You gotta 'fess up

You're in total control

And your faith is tired

I can't drink from the cup

Where is truth in the trinity?

You gotta 'fess up

[Verse 2]

If this affects it, it's hard to tell

You spend too many

Cold days in your cell

Never been one to admit that

Something might be wrong

[Refrain]

I never gave a damn

I was never even a fan

The only thing that

Makes me smile is your pain

If I ever had the chance

I'd kick out your chair

Just to watch you dance

Irrelevant, your vanity prevents change

[Pre-Chorus]

Sodium Pentothal

Still sounds great to me

An imitation of life buried in theology

A mass delusion, mass delusion

There's no confusion, no confusion

Just a hypocrite who'd never cop to it

[Chorus]

You're in total control

And you're still a liar

I can't drink from the cup

I question your authority

You gotta 'fess up

You're in total control

And your faith is tired

I can't drink from the cup

Where is truth in the trinity?

You gotta 'fess up

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Cop to it, cop to it

Cop to it, cop to it

You're in total control

And you're still a liar

Cop to it, cop to it

You're in total control

And your faith is tired

Cop to it, cop to it

I can't drink from the cup

Cop to it, 'fess up

I can't drink from the cup

Cop to it, 'fess up

I can't drink from the cup

Cop to it, 'fess up

I can't drink from the cup

Cop to it, 'fess up
