Nemesis Please

[INTRO]

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

Betray!

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

[VERSE 1]

Part harbinger, part protest singer

I used to practice in the mirror

I used to spew forth from the rooftops

Eat your new-borns and you’ll get slimmer

Yes-a-yes, isn’t it doomsday yet?

Yes-a-yes, I would assume so yes!

I would say anything for the attention

Beware false prophets – I am one

[Chorus]

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

My tongue it lingers for water

Pluck it out just for the hell of it

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

My god, we hinder and falter

Snuff me out just for the hell of it

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

[VERSE 2]

All artists must be well adjusted

Visionaries can’t be trusted

They do what they say, they say how they feel

While eating their succulent Chinese meal

Yes-a-yes 50% or less

Yes-a-yes taken off common sense

I would do anything for the attention

Beware false prophets – I am one

[Chorus]

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

My tongue it lingers for water

Pluck it out just for the hell of it

I shan’t leave this gilded cage

I shall behave, behave

My god, we hinder and falter

Snuff me out just for the hell of it

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

[BRIDGE]

Denounce the father – the warmonger

In his meat suit freshly laundered

Kiss the rictus, tethered monster

You ain’t getting any younger

[Chorus]

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

My tongue it lingers for water

Pluck it out just for the hell of it

I shan’t leave this gilded cage

I shall behave, behave

My god, we hinder and falter

Snuff me out just for the hell of it

The best way to serve the age is to betray, betray

[OUTRO]

Betray, betray, betray
