Lyrics:
You always look so confused
standing under the light
you stutter and you stammer and use fucked up grammar
but you always get a good sound bite
you used to be coated in Teflon
but now that Teflon's wearing thin
you slide to the edge but you always manage
to get out of the shit you're in

when you lie lie lie
makes me wonder why
we always buy buy buy
that same old pie in the sky

I can see through your eyes into the back of your head
there's nothing there but all the stale air and bullshit we're being fed
and so the truth lays dormant
buried under years of deceit
as you privatize and demonize
you tell us it's what we need

it's a bad time to be sick it's a bad time to be poor
tax cuts for the rich, pepper spray for the kids
and bullets for Dudley George
and so the truth lays dormant
buried under years of deceit
as you privatize and demonize
you tell us it's what we need
