Pariah Under Glass

Symbolized, patronized and then tossed out dry
Revolution or humiliation
Promise the bread, the wine, a life that always shines
If only they vote in the proper direction
Pick them up from the floor to get knocked down again
When you're bored with your mission and a new one begins

Ride your new thrill
Smug it suits you well
God in your new science lab
Master of your new promised land

Pick them up from the floor to get knocked down again
When you're bored with your mission and a new one begins

Echo, care and fake some tears to show your opponent
Throwing bones with bread and circus to disguise the proof
You only empower yourself when those in need become
Your new test subjects in your smear campaign, 101

Recycle control from their hands to your own
Every word is dropping empty
Recycle control from their hands to your own
Every word is dropping empty

Promise again
Focus away
From day to day
For your own ends
Their means are dying

Shame the act is old
Count your saintly sermon cells
Angel for your own rewards
Bring the mercy merchants down

Pick them up from the floor to get knocked down again
When you're bored with your mission and a new one begins
Pick them up from the floor to get knocked down again
When you're bored with your mission and a new one begins
