[Verse 1]

Busting out the buzz words, buzzing like a buzz-saw

Stringing out the encore no one ever asked for

Propping up your brand anywhere you can

Anywhere a spotlight might be peeking

Lips are making sounds, meaning isn't found

It's buried underground far beneath a pseudo

Altruistic, narcissistic

Display for the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]

But you don't fool me anymore

Now I've seen who you really are

The facade, the make-believe

But it always comes undone

[Chorus]

You're so virtuous, a shining beacon

Always got the right opinions

Armed with words to boost your signal up (Woah)

Virtuous through contradictions

Make sure thеy know all your afflictions

Life ain't all that easy at the top

You'rе virtuous

[Verse 2]

Busting out the buzz words, buzzing like a buzz-saw

Stringing out the encore no one ever asked for

Propping up your brand anywhere you can

Anywhere a spotlight might be peeking

To score your points

Perform, deploy

But you will destroy

You'll decimate to get your way

[Pre-Chorus]

But you don't fool me anymore

Now I've seen who you really are

The facade, the make-believe

But it always comes undone

[Chorus]

You're so virtuous, a shining beacon

Always got the right opinions

Armed with words to boost your signal up (Woah)

Virtuous through contradictions

Make sure they know all your afflictions

Life ain't all that easy at the top

You're virtuous

[Bridge]

How far will you stretch the name

When the mob cries "blood"

You won't hesitate

Wearing the cause, you sell your face

Under the cloak of good

Destroy, erase

Erase!

[Chorus]

Virtuous, a shining beacon

Always got the right opinions

Armed with words to boost your signal up (Woah)

Virtuous through contradictions

Make sure they know all your afflictions

Life ain't all that easy at the top

You're virtuous

[Outro]

Virtuous, oh

You're virtuous
