[Verse 1]
The yesterday we loved
Speak of tomorrow
The burden of man is that
Time never takes a pause
We live from Monday to Sunday
But forget what it means
Then a ghost comes to visit and
We tell stories from tabloids

[Verse 2]
Call all your friends
Watch fake photos
From a made up vacation
Speaking in tongues
About ancient artifacts

[Pre-Chorus]
We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie, rape, steal and murder
To make tonight's headlines
Trust the system
Make your contribution
Smile, applaud, love, hail
The weaker you get
The stronger they become
[Chorus]
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
Before it all crumbles

[Post-Chorus]
Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail

[Verse 3]
Gather in front of the TV
Exploding sympathy
The weatherman, our trust
Our punctual company

[Pre-Chorus]
We steal from beggars
And ask for understanding
Lie, rape, steal and murder
To make tonight's headlines
Trust the system
Make your contribution
Smile, applaud, love, hail
The weaker you get the
Stronger they become
[Chorus]
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
Before it all crumbles

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Lie, rape, steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail

[Chorus]
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence
Hear her voice
Before it all crumbles
