[XIII American Eulogy]
Sing us a song of the century
It sings like American Eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Forgotten hope and the cla** of 13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me
[A. Ma** Hysteria]
Hysteria, ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Red alert is the colour of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhood's a loaded gun
Idle thought lead to full-throttle screaming
And the welfare is asphyxiating
Ma** confusion is all the new age and it's creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of hysteria
Hysteria, ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deafmute is misleading the choir
The punchline is a natural disaster
And it's sung by the unemployed
Fight fire with a riot
The cla** war is hanging on a wire because the martyr is a compulsive liar
When he said "it's just a bunch of n******gs throwing gas into the ...."
Hysteria, ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
Ma** hysteria!
There's a disturbance on the oceanside
They tapped into the reserve
The static response is so unclear now
Mayday this is not a test!
As the neighborhood burns, America is falling
Vigilantes warning ya,
calling christian and gloria
[Bridge + Solo]
[B. Modern World]
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I'm the cla** of '13
In the era of dissent
A hostage of the soul
On a strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels
Without a common ground
I'm gonna light a fire into the underground
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I am a nation without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as it's written (f**ing lies!)
I want to take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the "up to date" and the neo-gentrified
The high definition for the low resident
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of a beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system that's falling apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
I don't give a sh** about the modern age
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world!
I don't wanna live in the modern world! (Ma** hysteria!)
