lyrics

We are the guilded
leaders of hopeless
entitled elitists
actions atrocious

follow our path
mindless hypnosis
constant stagnation
our magnum opus

we call for change
while ignoring our message
imposing our will
seems less excessive

now take this song
our final vestige
and pick up the pieces
of a 20 year wreckage

expertise in constant failure
but listen to the words we've spoken
the hypocrites will be your saviors
hollow words with bonds unbroken

everything looks good on paper
but success requires motion
driven by their human nature
crippled by their self devotion

is it their mission
to become martyrs
full of ambition
with fate they will barter

subtle sedition
for the vengeance they harbor
the road to perdition
is a nonstarter

the hypocrites words
have become worthless
citizens stirred
there's panic in surplus

the story's absurd
obedience purchased
violence inferred
boiling to surface
