lyrics

There’s a golden god who’ll try to make amends
Just when you think you’ll learn to love again
We keep your picture in our shopping bag
Came with the frame
Still working on the name
Oh, lord

Kind of like the preacher
if the preacher were a teacher
Call it Existentialist
You cower at the confidence
I make my own name
a name that stains the collar color
inhabit the inhabitants
breathe it in, the stench of it
a soundtrack to a life that seems charmed
I’ll make my own name
covering the collar color
to be the same
I’ll be employed by the game
I’ll be the best in the west at
covering the collar color
to the same
You’ll be controlled by the game
and be the best in the best
Doing so will feel like winning

I can be a preacher but if the preacher were a teacher
there would be no test to take
no time to raise a hand
all values are the same
unless you know why they’re tagged with the price there is to pay
I purchased my heart
and all the accessories to go with it
from a store with no name
glossing up the collar color
several ones feel the same
alone and playing a game
they told me love was the answer
separate the collar color
to be the same
I win by stopping the game
I am the best of the best
I’ll write my own holidays

I won’t buy what you tell me to consume
I’ll destroy the beast who employs you
Oh, lord

I will beat you

You’ll find it
I know you can

You make the make
to take the take
and scrape the scrape
and tell the lie
and cut the cord
to drive the slaves
baby, what do you expect staring into the computer screen?
fight fire with fire
