[Chorus]

Last ones left

Are they too stupid to see?

Last ones left

What we are destined to be


[Verse 1]

Spit in their face and they'll react with a smile

Pick at the details and you'll find ripe denial

Fake kindness, bootlicking spreads like the plague

Just for a place at the emperor's feet

Is this what you lab rats wanted?

A bunch of nice guys playing friends to get paid

A bunch of cover acts rolling around on the floor

The heroes of old rolling deep in their graves


[Chorus]

Last ones left

Are they too stupid to see?

Last ones left

What we are destined to be


[Verse 2]

It's the difference between reality and parody slipping away

"Well, the success is good for all of us"

They try to explain

So let's get it straight

You are a clone, a spy

A moment in time

A petulant child

A pitiful effigy of what we would never be

Less than nothing to me


[Chorus]

Last ones left

Are they too stupid to see?

Last ones left

What we are destined to be

The last real ones left

Are they too stupid to see?

Last ones left

What we are destined to be


[Verse 3]

You drain the life out of all that's pure

When you don't ignore

Desperate bribes for acceptance through guarantees

I am the last one left

The answer flows through me

You gave them life

But they can't pay for

All that we are

Last ones


[Outro]

Last ones left
