[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
