Minutes went by like minutes

Two by two we all played dead

Subdued by the hands that are spanking us

In the classrooms

And the homes in our heads

Bare you ugly a__ for

The pretty light, the pretty lights

Bending for the cheer of the parasites

When they hate you just show them

Bending for the cheer of the parasites

When they hate you just show them

Minutes went by like minutes

Two by two we all played dead

Following the followers

For the following

A gold tooth and a price tag

For a smile

Tempted danger

But the blow was staggering

You blow the stop sign there's

No u-turn, no u-turn

Glamorized and galvanized in the public's eyes

Stardom for x amount of

Glamorized and galvanized in the public's eyes

Stardom for x amount of

Minutes went by like minutes

Two by two we all played dead

Pressure

Don't watch me

Don't watch me

Pressure

Don't watch me

Don't watch me

Pressure

Don't watch me

Don't watch me

They're watching for you to fail

They're watching always for you to fail

Backwash is your mouthful of paradise

Trade your morals for a chance to win (a chance to win)

Dabble in the magic of happiness

Then salvage the energy to grin (the energy to grin)

There is a snapping point there in everyone

Somewhere behind the eyes 9behind the eyes)

Potent delivery, a means to an end

It's on a stage, in a screen, in a friend (in a friend)
