lyrics

Poison glitters the roof
That reaches on forever
A temple to those people
Who aren't exactly clever
Shops consumed with greedy eyes
Filled with goods to choose
A mammoth obsession
To which, you will only lose

I need to buy
Need to try
Need everything I see
Unless you convince me
Then I guess I'll leave it be

I'm a stranger to myself
Hatred is a virtue
Unless you use it well
I'm always fighting someone else
Hatred is a virtue
Unless you use it well

Walk around your palace
Delusions of grandeur
I know the real reason
You need extortion
Don't worry about me
I have music, I have life!
Just run along guys
You were always right.
