"Sibilant soundscape, puckering like politicians /
Kiss hands, shake babies, this is the world we live in /
Save the day or watch Rome burn? /
Bite the hand that feeds you, crush those who need you, it's your turn /
Everybody's out for self, we do this for us and without your help /
You wouldn't be evident without your wealth, you're a fraud, with your pauses, you out yourself /
We don't even have to pull the veil, it's all so surface /
Still you speak, expose the philistine with no purpose /
Gutless gospel, hyperbole, and it's all from the hip /
Subterfuge, man, I loved this dude, til he stalled and he slipped /
Let lies fall from his lips without his former sorcery /
Promised to stay the course with me, betrayed, now I want his portion seized /
Kill the king, go for the jester's jugular /
In a canteen full of charlatans, I'm a self-confessed smuggler /
Of earnestly and purposely pithy proclamations, not worth saving /
Hear the honed high notes lifting out the basement"
