Manipulation Nation Video (MV)

I had hope in my eyes once
The W shined upon me
But the mustangs ran wild and free
And trampled on
There was me

I won't spend another day, month, or year
Living in my den of tears
I craved the spotlight; I was thrust into the pit

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, now I'm gone
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, now I'm gone

This town is Great Britain and I'm the newly formed United States
Mistreated for years until I finally carve my place
And I declare independence from this nation of complete and total aggravation
This sensation of constant tears and wasted years
And I declare independence from this manipulation nation

The only thing I can promise you is that you'll remember my name
And when I bask in the spotlight you'll still gaggle at me

Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, now I'm gone
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, lead me on, now I'm gone

This town is Great Britain and I'm the newly formed United States
Mistreated for years until I finally carve my place
And I declare independence from this nation of complete and total aggravation
This sensation of constant tears and wasted years
And I declare independence
I declare independence
Yes, I declare independence from this manipulation nation
