[Verse 1]
You gave us what we wished for
A few tangled strings attached
Pull back the curtain
I won't suffer for your amusement
There's no more dreams for me to sell
I choose my nightmares wisely
I don't wanna ruin the story
But it doesn't turn out well
[Pre-Chorus]
You will always be entertained
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Verse 2]
Put me inside the animal
Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff
When they tear the wings from all the swine
Just monkeys will be left to fly
The pilot light has flickered out
And all the ashes will be screaming
No one can hear my last words
And no encore once we say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
You will always be entertained
You will always be entertained
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Outro]
Sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
(Not a sacrifice, not a sacrifice, not a sacrifice)
