And now you're searching for that new messiah
It's your greatest passion
To set 'em up and knock 'em down
Put him on a pedistal, idolitrary
Wear that ring you're married
It all yours to their envy
Cause you hold a higher key of senses
They are drawn like magnets
To a genius it's confirmed

Set him up and knock him down
And your taste is so accountable
But this is no great loss
And sharing never was a choice
Burning on a cross
Gives your credit and a voice
Here to relay your beautiful ideals vicariously through them

And when he died too many
They are all pathetic
You dethrone your king
Without listening, without ever listening

Jesus Christ is realized
As he burns on your cross
This is no great loss
Another one will come
The wait is short, the search is brief
You find another faith
Another Clark Kent
Another Superman
Flashing in the pan
Taste is so accountable
But this is no great loss
Sharing never was a choice
He's burning on your cross
Gives you credit and a voice
Only here to relay your beautiful ideals vicariously through them

And now they're searching for that new messiah
Is their greatest passion
It's the latest fashion
