Avert your gaze from Kenosha You have no use for these The troops are storming the castle To pollute the wine and cheese They've found a back door in thru The service industry Wisconsin isn't ready For the X-13D Avert your gaze from Kenosha You have no use for these The troops are storming the castle To pollute the wine and cheese I've got a feeling in my head that I ate something bad for me I feel a wave of paranoia From the X-13D I've got a conscience and into my head it screams It knows my judgment has been miscalculating It knows into my ear the devil plans to sing (oh-oh) It knows that to suggestion I'm open and willing (oh-oh) Avert your gaze from Kenosha You have no use for these The troops are storming the castle To pollute the wine and cheese I've got a feeling in my head that I ate something bad for me I feel a wave of paranoia From the X-13D They've found a back door in thru The service industry Wisconsin isn't ready For the X-13D I've got a conscience and into my head it screams It knows my judgment has been miscalculating It knows into my ear the devil plans to sing (oh-oh) It knows that to suggestion I'm open and willing (oh-oh) I took the Paxil for awhile I have no memory of that I took the X-13 and smiled (They've gone and stormed the castle) Their orders buzzing like a gnat (They've gone and stormed the castle) Better living through chemistry Better living through ear worms Better living through a combination Of altered brain waves and drugs

All hands laying low I got the feeling that this is all for show I know were getting through, but I hate to tippy toe Bull eyes and normal snouts I got the feeling this will all come down So! Keep your wits and pray to the sun god It's not like we're some profiteer Hide the sheets that lead next gig And make sure your story's clear All hands laying low I got the feeling that this is all for show I know were getting through, but I hate to tippy toe You know what's going down But mino's wearing a crown So! Keep your wits and pray to the sun god It's not like we're some profiteer Hide the sheets that lead next gig And make sure your story's clear Do you have your documentation? Do you have your papers in line? I see you get that itch in your eyeball When it comes to inspection time Do you have your documentation? Do you have your papers in line? A minotaur can't be too sure When dealing with the boarder slime Keep your wits and pray to the sun god It's not like we're some profiteer Hide the sheets that lead next gig And make sure your story's clear Do you have your documentation? Do you have your papers in line? I see you get that itch in your eyeball When it comes to inspection time Do you have your documentation? Do you have your papers in line? A minotaur can't be too sure When dealing with the boarder slime

No time for slow reaction No place for slow attraction This takes my full attention No time for slow reaction No place for slow attraction This takes my full attention I am determined to remain Loud in the forefront of your mind I wanna be what you desire No time for slow reaction No place for slow attraction This takes my full attention The world is ending everyday Vortex contained by science's weight Let's get it on 'til it's too late Late at night My thoughts sing Feels like the atomic weight of everything In my heart In my head In my hands We fight fire (we fight fire) We melt glass (we fight fire) We fuse the atoms We fuse the atoms

I'm gonna tell ya what I know The ladies come and go But the ebb and the flow It's a shame and a drag A doe vs. a stag It's a shame and a drag It's a bummer of a scheme But the roaches and the rats Were less effective than they seemed It's a shame and a drag Shame and a drag Shame and a drag When you set the fire (You set the fire, you set the fire) You were a star In your mind A hero to the cause Out of time And outside the laws Sabotage Shoulda gave us pause I'm gonna tell ya what I know The ladies come and go But the ebb and the flow It's a shame and a drag A doe vs. a stag It's a shame and a drag It's a bummer of a scheme But the roaches and the rats Were less effective than they seemed It's a shame and a drag Shame and a drag Shame and a drag When they took you in (they took you in, they took you in) I washed my hands Of your mind Your manifestos and plans Undefined But still acted upon Our king resigned Our enemies have won (You let me down, you let me down) You said you kicked the matches (You let me down, you let me down) Authority dispatches (You let me down, you let me down) My sympathy detaches My arsonist, you let me down It's a shame and a drag, a shame and a drag, a shame and a drag, a shame and a drag... (You let me down, you let me down) You said you kicked the matches (You let me down, you let me down) Authority dispatches (You let me down, you let me down) My sympathy detaches My arsonist, you let me down One, two, three, four

He growls into the mic, he glares into the lens He’s been pushed to the breaking point, and here’s where it’ll end He’s got a briefcase full of cash for anyone who’ll act On an offer to carry out his unsanctioned attack Somebody take the damn Somebody take the damn Take the damn money Take the damn money It’s right here for you Any limb will do Take the damn money Take the damn money The names upon his list, the devil’s entourage Spat through the titleholder’s gravel-lipped barrage The former champions, the demons from the East He pleads for anyone to cut out his disease “You are the champion, you took the belt from me You’re the man, you can do it, come and get it please” Somebody take the damn Somebody take the damn Take the damn money Take the damn money It’s right here for you Any limb will do Take the damn money Take the damn money

The arm drops once, the arm drops twice I see a bright future as the arm drops thrice Pop the crowd and they come alive Seventy-eight? No, I'm twenty-five The arms drops once, the arm drops twice Pull me away as he turns to ice This domestic call has gone awry Where are we and who am I? Your ordinance Is meaningless I'm permanent And dangerous One two three, you're not my family And I don't see how this applies One two three, you can't imprison me Shoot me full of Clozapine Your ordinance Is meaningless I'm permanent And dangerous It's cinched, you're cold No escape from this sleeperhold It's cinched, you're cold No escape from this sleeperhold Your ordinance Is meaningless I'm permanent And dangerous He's not getting up Ring the bell
