Shot to the skull or a strike to the brain
As you withdraw, you give death a bad name
Can you be stopped or can evil be slain?
Is there something to be lost to surrender the pain?
You're just a shade of something betrayed
Watch as you fade into the reservoir
Can you exist? Shade of the oculist
No consciousness, less than a metaphor
What was once dead is now coming for you
The television said it's the right thing to do
Give me a name, more than a flame (More than a flame)
Can it contain more than a metaphor?
Show me your face, give it some breathing space
Feel my embrace, empty the reservoir
Was it for profit or was it for gain?
You gave it your all, you gave life a bad name
Sentries trembling, voices assembling (voices assembling)
Nothing resembling what it had been before
Contamination, death to America
Reanimation, what are you waiting for?
Give me a name, more than a flame (More than a flame)
Can it contain more than a metaphor?
Show me your face, give it some breathing space
Feel my embrace, empty the reservoir
Shot to the skull or a strike to the brain
The cadaver on the cross, you give love a bad name
Can you explain all our divided pain?
What still remains after the rigor mortis
Poured gasoline, ghost in a dead machine
God save the queen, lessons and metaphors
(Hung from a tree) Edge of the canopy
(All this debris) Signals and semaphores
(Round them all up) Drink from the Holy Cup
(Battered in blood) What are you waiting for?
Jump from the fire into the frying pan
Voice of the choir, now you are born again
Gathered in song, calling all next of kin
Can't do no wrong, perfect American
(Follow your dream) Into the black and white
(Anthropocene) Live it up, give a fight
(Shot through the heart) God bless America
(Failed from the start) What are you waiting for?
(Shot to the skull or a strike to the brain) What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
(The cadaver on the cross, you give love a bad name) What are you waiting for?
