[Intro:]

Not all heroes wear capes, but all villains wear masks

And they do know how to act

[Verse 1:]

Give him an Emmy and a Grammy award

Authenticity is something you can't buy at a store

But now they seem to give discounts and coupon codes

Not a nuance more, but just a glitter galore

Get hit on Twitter about the opinion on social justice

Everyone wants to influence, but they ain't no blacksmith

So the Gucci tennis shoes get replaced by the Oceans

Them 13's, you know what I mean?

[Pre-Chorus:]

And it would make much more sense if the peoplе behind the facade wеre happy

But their head is tilted looking for a crack in the wall

And when the wall paint is coming off

And the sunlight's far from being seen

And their retinas turn to tears

[Chorus:]

They shall know what I mean when I say

The sound is not for the faint-hearted

And the weak-spirited

Graft your experience into the uncharted

And the villains got their way

But now they don't know what to say

[Verse 2:]

The knob's turned all way and I'm ready

Y'all late two hours, but I'm fair compensated

Astonished by the opportunities created

And baffled by all the wealth evaporating

From the pockets of the algorithmic scheme of money chasing

I've studied economy and I've spent weeks on contemplating

How the hell the cogs keep on cranking and turning

When they're rusty like an old diesel truck in the morning

[Pre-Chorus:]

And it would make much more sense if the people behind the facade were happy

But their head is tilted looking for a crack in the wall

And when the wall paint is coming off

And the sunlight's far from being seen

And the retinas turn to tears

[Chorus:]

They shall know what I mean when I say

The sound is not for the faint-hearted

And the weak-spirited

Graft your experience into the uncharted

They shall know what I mean when I say

The sound is not for the faint-hearted

And the weak-spirited

Graft your experience into the uncharted

[Outro:]

And the villains got their way

But now they don't know what to say

And the villains got their way

But now they don't know what to say
