[Refrain]

Who do you answer to?

[Verse 1]

Is it a pulsing beam overhead

That burns your retinas

Or is it a whirring disk inside

Sending shocks throughout your spine

[Chorus 1]

And knocks you down onto your knees

Now why would a conscience do that?

[Refrain]

Is your conscience conning you?

Who do you answer to?

[Verse 2]

Is it a gleaming bar of iron

Swinging low and snapping bones

Or is it a shrieking metallic core

Whose throbbing gravity builds

[Chorus 2]

And yanks you down onto concrete

Now why would a conscience do that?

[Refrain]

Is your conscience conning you?

Who do you answer to?
