[Verse 1]

Rationalize values, it's so easy to succeed

Keeping your eyes on the prize, excess, success

[Verse 2]

Camped outside laissez-faire

People understand me there

Don't talk to me, we'll get along just fine

Blowing out your mores

Henry Ford tradition preys

On idle minds, left the emergency

Brake on too long

[Bridge]

Underneath the city lies the ruins of mankind

[Breakdown]

The excavation was a financial

Success with artifacts of gold

The arrowheads went straight to the Smithsonian

The rest was melted down and sold

[Verse 3]

Substantial gains, minimal losses are tolerable

As long as the machine keeps running on

Cannibals functioning on pheromones

Rational thought lost to instinctual
