Costly Engineered Illusion

Please take your seats

Blessed are the people that are filled from their pantries

The fancy run this shanty (We need a vigilante)

Never in the clear, but we still persevere

Scrapping to get by, we are the final frontier

We dance with the devil, so expect no pause

We've got flaws, ain't got laws (We're fucking animals)

Bastards outclass us but they all have gods and masters

Their ethics keep 'em in sh-sh-sh-sh-shackles

Yeah, so I fixed at work again

They said, "Pack up," I said, "Amen"

And now I'm stuck in fucking traffic

Another drag, I'm down to plastic

Oh, how I wish that I could fly

The bills are high, but so am I

Below the bridge, the water's cool

I'm tired of being the fucking fool

Step out the car, they start to honk

Say goodbye to this old punk

The wind draws near as I approach

I step off into the unknown

Yo, give me that mic

Yeah, motherfucker put your hands up high

Hands up high

Put your hands in the sky

You're a real motherfucker, hands up high

Your wrists are tied and your hands are numb

It's the price to pay for your continuum

Your life's a lie and your mind's gone dry

It's the cost to own your condominium

Your spirit's shattered but the price is low

It's the trade you made for your dominion

Yeah, nothing matters unless it costs

What a costly engineered illusion

Your wrists are tied and your hands are numb

It's the price to pay for your continuum

Your life's a lie and your mind's gone dry

It's the cost to own your condominium
