Dead Extras - Second Rate Sinner Lyrics

Tune up, tune into the sirens of the gilded few
Kiss your ears with half truths, prone to pick and choose from
Flak on the evening news, glitz and glitter terrifies you
Poison pumped inside, propaganda for paralysed minds
Conspiracies coloured as truths, convenient enough to
Cushion you from being bruised, corrupt dominant roots
Smothered in snake oil, taste the tonic's spoil
Drink it down, lap it up, ties your stomach in a knot

Are you buying what they're selling, aimed at hell tell you you're hitting heaven
Speak no evil, gouge out your eyes, your fears are all fantasies, your debts you deny

What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
Get me under your thick skin, I wanna be drowning in narcissism
Pacing your mind's prison, victim of a schism, a second rate sinner, yeah

Caught up in the divide, north and south, left and right
Hemispheres draw the lines, neurons scar your mind
Hijacked fight or flight, binge on blue light at night
Trigger finger starts to fall, the whole world at your beck and call
Walk soft with your fragile mind, march in step, march in time
Fall out fumbles the rhyme, convenient to fall in line
Foreign objects prick the wound, toxins taking over you
Coursing through your thick veins, shame shaping your sick frame

What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
Get me under your thick skin, I wanna be drowning in narcissism
Pacing your mind's prison, victim of a schism, a second rate sinner, yeah

Are you buying what they're selling, aimed at hell tell you you're hitting heaven
Speak no evil, gouge out your eyes, your fears are all fantasies, your debts you deny

Haunts all your damaged dreams
From Syrian sands to Korean seas
Sold the world a figurine that
Ain't a fraction of the man you made yourself out to be
And repeat after me, the truth will set you free, it's
Political pornography in glossy magazines
Drip feed of right wing TV
Marionette connected to an infected IV

What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way
What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
What a way to make it all about you, what a way, what a way, what a way to make it
Get me under your thick skin, I wanna be drowning in narcissism
Pacing your mind's prison, victim of a schism, a second rate sinner, yeah
