[Verse 1]
Beast mode
Everybody's striking a pose
Everybody's taxing my soul
They say it's all the rage
To never act your age
[Verse 2]
So, what you gonna hit me with next?
Darwin or a crucifix?
So, why you wanna do me like this?
It's always so extreme
But what's it really mean?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you're begging for a brick
Just to throw it back and forth
And you call each other sick
Yet you're coming back for more
Back for more of what you love
Back for more of what you hate
You can't stop, stop, stop
'Cause you're already too late
[Chorus 1]
So, you kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Chorus 2]
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Verse 3]
Good luck (Good luck)
Everybody's passing the buck (The buck)
Praying that they're making the cut (The cut)
They'll sell you by the pound
And keep you underground
[Pre-Chorus 2]
While you're scratching at the gate
Screaming, "Come on, let me in!"
Like a fully loaded zombie
Throwing caution to the wind
Back for more of what you love
Back for more of what you hate
You can't stop, stop, stop
'Cause you're already too late
[Chorus 1]
So, you kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Chorus 2]
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Bridge]
(Ready! Aim!) (Conscience, conscience) (Hey!)
(Ready! Aim!) (Conscience, conscience) (Hey!)
(Ready! Aim!) (Conscience, conscience) (Hey!)
(Ready! Aim!) (Conscience, conscience) (Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
[Chorus 1]
Kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Chorus 2]
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Kill your conscience (Conscience, conscience)
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
[Outro]
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
