Revolution institution
Gather up the calvary
Empty glasses for the masses
Raised in unity
From the fires, cue the choirs
Sing a hymn of suffering
Generation desperation
As the angels sing
Don't you know?
You can't let go
Cause it's so hard to say goodbye
To what we dim the lights for
Killing truth with lies we die for
Programming emotion
Manufacturing our lives
We are the products of
An over-processed love
That is chemically defined
Cheaper, faster
Blood and plaster
Heart-pumping machinery
Gears and veins
Rewired brains with
Television dreams
Burning engines
Fueled by tensions
Apprehension industry
Mutilation of salvation
As the angels scream
Don't you know?
You can't let go
Cause it's so hard to say goodbye
To what we dim the lights for
Killing truth with lies we die for
Programming emotion
Manufacturing our lives
We are the products of
An over-processed love
That is chemically defined

Self vs. Nature vs. Nurture: Eternal conflict of the thoughtless mind. Mass produced, quantifiable identities that wage war against themselves. All sales are final.
