you can tell this song is sad & most of this is old
but i got some new combinations & no this ain't a solicitation
we're gonna hafta talk more now, we're just ordinary kings
the gods are getting older now & in theory even electrons freeze
& myths are small they can fit inside, 30 second tv advertisements
but ridiculousness is fine, anything's ok if it's mine
religion still sells pretty well, as far as i can tell, even hell is diversifying its ad campaign
there are plans research is done on this, but i'm done i'm tired of worrying about this shit
materialism is still the best diplomacy, it's our leading export commodity
when sympathy becomes a liability, that's when i'll go out to the periphery
show me where you are at, cuz i don't know where it's at
my name's got some sounds, that is if you happen to be standing around it
lately i've been holding my tongue, trying to figure out how to use it
but i found it was just a hole, a whole lot better not to know
that my body is just a trap, i didn't mean to be born
but i'll keep on trying to give a damn, while taking all i can
but if you see me walking, just leave me as i am
please don't try to reason with me i'm probably just on my way out to the periphery
