Bad Excuse

[Intro]
I don't need another bad excuse
I don't need another speech from you

[Verse 1]
Apologies for my apology
I just read the script that was given to me
I'm just a talking head, I'm just the walking dead
Feeding you the lies that I've been fed

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I know is all I'm told
And all I know is all I'm told

[Chorus]
I don't need another bad excuse
I don't need another speech from you
You made a fine bed, and you'll lie in it too
The only thing I ever need from you
Step down
Step down

[Verse 2]
Pardon me, it's part of my occupation
To do what I'm told by corporations
Manipulate the information
Legislate your own subjugation

[Pre-Chorus]
Your silver tongue may shine
But your words are not worth a dime
You can save your breath this time

[Chorus]
I don't need another bad excuse
I don't need another speech from you
You made a fine bed, and you'll lie in it too
The only thing I ever need from you
Step down (Step down)
Step down (Step down)

[Bridge]
You're a king with a paper crown, step down
Step down
A bureaucrat getting fat, step down
Step down
You're just a puppet on a golden string, step down
Step down
Think you're a wolf, but you're just a sheep, step down
Step down

[Chorus]
I don't need another bad excuse
I don't need another speech from you (Speech from you)
You made a fine bed, and you'll lie in it too
The only thing I ever need from you
Step down
Step down

[Outro]
The only thing I ever need from you
Step down
