[Verse 1]

When the ending comes, is it gonna run

At us like a wild-eyed animal?

A foreign disease washed upon the beach

A dagger plunged from out of the shadows

[Verse 2]

A cosmic grief beyond all comprehension

All good laid low by outside evil

Against belief, a riot in the streets

A giant beast turning mountains into black holes

[Bridge]

Fiction

Fiction

No, none of that

Rolling in your heads

Reality has a far duller edge

[Chorus]

Everybody's hunted with a smile

Being processed by the boys

[Verse 3]

They got the job when they came back to town

Why not let 'em earn a living?

Fill out the form, download the app

Submit your face into the scanner

[Chorus]

Everybody's hunted with a smile

Being processed by the boys

[Outro]

In their tatterdemalion uniforms

They look so nice

Tattoos of their children

So cool, so nice

This time will be gentle enough

Gentle enough

This time will be gentle enough

Gentle enough

Next time will be different

Different

Next time will be different

So cool, so nice

They'll be gentle enough

Gentle enough

They'll be gentle enough

Gentle enough
