Cheated

[Intro]
One, two, one, two, fuck you!

[Verse 1]
So inevitable, another lie
Another reason to justify tearing it down
Honesty, such a novelty
So we king ourselves with a plastic crown
Casualty of a daydream nation
Close acquaintance, no relation
Search and destroy
Dignity we left laying along the way
To everyone's dismay
Predictable cliché
Kindred enemies

[Chorus]
The walking dead
Living a lie
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

[Verse 2]
So unavoidable, another fight
Sell the ticket and crash the ride
Burn it down
A legacy of brutality
So caught up in the process of weeding out
The chopping block starving for a neck
Pointing fingers and stabbing backs
Never question, conformity
The big takeover underway
Much to our dismay
A lucrative display
Perpetual decay

[Chorus]
The walking dead
Living a lie
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
Left to destroy themselves
Yet somehow still alive
Battling for the best position
Posturing for recognition
The best days
Thrown away
In an age of quarrel
Butcher the memories

[Chorus]
The walking dead
Living a lie
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
Ever get the feeling you've been...?
