"Con Artist Culture Vs. Pax Americana" lyrics

"Con Artist Culture Vs. Pax Americana"

Pave the way for a precipice
Why's the world so oblivious?
Stop consuming - start producing
Pave the way with potholes
Ideology, monstrosity
A society of Hollywood atrocities
I won't be a part of the American dream
Never be a part of the adrenaline genesis

We've always been taught to stay in line
And we always thought that our dark thoughts were crimes
So we kept quiet all our lives
But no longer

This generation should really learn to swim
Before the water rises above our heads
Don't change the station
I want you to hear this
Through all the static
Through all the static

Maybe we should stop doing what we're told
If you believe in something real, in something more
Maybe it's time that we explode

Radicals dolled up in innocence
Virgins ate alive by pheromone vengeance
Justice is blind
She can't acquit us of our crimes
I can't keep quiet
Children force - fed pharmaceutical diets
Because these soldiers aren't coming home
So we make the devil's bed
So it's time we lay in it
So we make the devil's bed
It's time to lay in it
A pill for every bullet
A troop for every dollar
Muzzle us up with pop culture shock collars
So we make the devils bed
It's time that we lay in it
So we make the devils bed
It's time that we lay in it

This generation should really learn to swim
Before the water rises above our heads
Don't change the station
I want you to hear this
Through all the static
Through all the static

Maybe we should stop doing what we're told
If you believe in something real, in something more
Maybe it's time that we explode

Technicolor lacerations raping a sleeping nation
The soapbox superiority kicking in
Technicolor lacerations raping a sleeping nation
The soapbox superiority kicking in

So tell all your children
We decided for them
This is the world
That they will raise their kids in
And spend their lives
Forever rebuilding
From all our ruins

Maybe we should stop doing what we're told
If you believe in something real, in something more
Maybe it's time that we explode

Let's just stop doing what we're told
If you believe in something real, in something more
Then it's time for us to explode

Pave the way for a precipice
Why's the world so oblivious?
Stop consuming - start producing
Pave the way with potholes
Ideology, monstrosity
A society of Hollywood atrocities
I won't be a part of the American dream
American dream
