You've got another thing coming' if you, think it's so easy to change
It's just the will to power giving excuses for your clandestine ways (And)
Tell me it's just a game that we play when you lie through a crooked smile
All glitz and glamour, all American liar cheater thief the apple of my eye

You've never had a moment quite like this, mask on all eyes pointed at your face
No names no symbols just a flag and a-talkin' head calling for you to be erased (I said it's)
Ten times you used up nine lives, eighth time lucky when the seventh ran on a lie
Hire all your lawyers and commit all of your crime, you'll bleed in technicolor when we skin you alive

They'll string me up, like a martyr, for none of the world to see
Crocodile tears are my greatest fear, wipe them away, won't you come and tell me
That you're gonna chase him and you might even catch him but it doesn't matter in the end
You might even fight it and probably deny it when he says he wants to be your friend
And now everyone will miss you until the biggest issue is about how you were never there
Just take a moment to revise, you're a traitor with a knife, and you're dulling your cutting edge

Treat every moment like a TV show, I know you love all the lights and attention paid
Sell out all your friends for a dime and a dollar while the ocean burns and you inhale the haze
Black lung, black heart and an iron steed, you'll steer the reins to the locusts that were stabbing' your knees
Surrounded by the mouths of the hungry and the sick, you remember those books the teacher told you to read

You've never had a moment quite like this, mask on all eyes pointed at your face
No names no symbols just a flag and a-talkin' head calling for you to be erased (I said it's)
Ten times you used up nine lives, eighth time lucky when the seventh ran on a lie
Hire all your lawyers and commit all of your crime, you'll bleed in technicolor when we skin you alive

They'll string me up, like a martyr, for none of the world to see
Crocodile tears are my greatest fear, wipe them away, won't you come and tell me
That you're gonna chase him and you might even catch him but it doesn't matter in the end
You might even fight it and probably deny it when he says he wants to be your friend
And now everyone will miss you until the biggest issue is about how you were never there
Just take a moment to revise, you're a traitor with a knife, and you're dulling your cutting edge
