"Empty Elvis" lyrics

"Empty Elvis"

Blame the almighty, crucify me, martyrdom, sex, and fame
Screaming, "Oh, oh, my God! Oh, that's your god?"
Blindfold the firing squad
Pay the almighty with your body
Then you can carry me
Screaming, "Oh, no! That's wrong! You don't belong!"
Stand before the firing squad
Oh

I'm alone again, I'm alone again
I'm alone again, oh
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
I want it all

Screaming, "Oh, oh, my God. Oh, that's your god?"
Blindfold the firing squad
They, the almighty, keep inviting us to all come along
Then they scream, "Oh, oh, my God!"
When they see that you're flawed
Take shots at the firing squad

It seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all
I want it all

Over and over, and over again
Oh, my God, is that your god?
I'm over, over, over, over it

Soul made the devil his riches
Because I couldn't have gotten here all by myself
All of us paper thin pages ripped for money
All of us paper thin pages ripped for money

Oh, it seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all

It seems that I'm alone again
But you said you would give me the world
I was fine with those poster ghosts haunting my walls
But now I want it all

Over and over, and over again
Over, over and over
Over and over, over and over, over it
Ooh, oh shit
