lyrics

Another failure complete
And here come the elite in all their glory
To make sure you understand
They control the windows
That open and shut at their whims
But people follow like dogs returning to their own vomit
They no longer can think on their own
And they've been programmed to hate you for thinking otherwise

Distorted specters of heroes flash in
Yet they've been refashioned to suit the cause
So only a few actually win
Win a prize worth nothing

Another day spent doing nothing
And here come the captains to reel you in
They control the doors
They control the doors
That stay closed
That stay closed

You have no choice but to kiss or be killed
They say they care, but that only traps you further
And the day will come when it won't matter
Still the days are numbered
In fact, everything is numbered
And made to order
So the captains risk it all
So the captains risk it all
So the captains risk it all
For some feint view of what they think they are
