Venom Video (MV)

Watching the world eat itself alive
The fingers are pointed, but who is to blame?
We reach for the only light we see
But there are those who wish to keep it for themselves

I'm sick of living my life through a screen
When did fifteen minutes become six seconds?
Restart, I think we've seen enough
Hyperbole and ignorance will reign supreme

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses, I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?
And you will feel the poison

Even if we attempt to make some sort of progress
It's undermined, undercut, swept under the rug
The ones who wish to make the change are vilified
And the ones who cast their stones won't budge for anyone

I'm sick of the plastic that's melting every day
It doesn't seem that we'll get anything accomplished
The prayers don't help and neither do the screams
On the other hand, your rage is poorly worded

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses, I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?

I've had it up to here (Are you finished with the stress?)
I am not defined by fear (The world is still in a mess)
(It doesn't matter what you sing) Gotta say it from the heart
(But you gotta do the thing!) Somebody said that part
(It doesn't make it less true!) True, it could be worse
(So, wha'chu gonna do?) Let the masses disperse
And bring on the pain (Fighting fire with flames?)
Eh, it's more like champagne (Still, they're gonna know our names)

If you are here to undo the work of the optimists, you are public enemy #1

This is the only way I know to get this off my chest
We stand in defiance to the ones who think they know what's best
The leaders, the stars, the masses, I condemn them
Is it any wonder why I'm so full of venom?
And you will feel the poison
