lyrics

One big show
You're not looking normal
Head to toe
You're deeply superficial
Your removable parts cannot be rearranged

Can't change your hair
Your look and your demeanour
Game's unfair
All hail the great deceiver
Thought that I knew our fate but we ended up strange

We're waiting for change but now we're feeling so low
Neither a left nor a right, it's forward we go
The choices we float may we dare to compare
The devil we know against the devil we don't

Play the role
Robotic chief consoler
State the words
Like you'd recite the scripture
Like we had any doubts where your loyalties lay

Hollow words
Fall flat upon deaf ears now
Stomachs churn
We wish that you could see how
You are not welcome here you had best stay away

We're waiting for change but now we're feeling so low
Neither a left nor a right, it's forward we go
The choices we float may we dare to compare
The devil we know against the devil we don't
The devil we know against the devil we don't

We're waiting for change but now we're feeling so low
Neither a left nor a right, it's forward we go
The choices we float may we dare to compare
The devil we know against the devil we don't
The devil we know against the devil we don't
