No patience,
Not going anywhere,
We don't route for the underdog, no,
Complacent,
Never had a care,
don't argue, just do your job.

lost sleep,
Rinse and repeat,
Get lost in the sound of your grinding teeth,
Reality,
Checks are free,
Can't you see here we're all in need.

Problem processing your payment,
You better know your place in the simulation,
More an inmate than a patient,
You better know your place in the simulation,
It's a sign,
It's a sign,
Never ask why, just comply,
It’s a lie,
It’s a lie,
Does it remind you that you're breathing,
That you're still alive.

Did your job,
Can't see the point,
We don't route for the underdog, no,
Replacement,
Life’s never fair,
Doesn't argue, just does the work.

Best believe,
No inner peace,
Uncross your legs and take your leave,
Reality,
Never been free,
Price goes up when we're all in need.

You better know your place in the simulation,

No, no,

Your job, your job.

Holding a brick in a carrier bag,
Driving round town in an unmarked van,
Smash and grab, just stick to the plan,
Play by the rules, what a business man.

Sanctioned hits,
Not stealing,
Bad memory,
Keep em dreaming,
You don't get this,
you're not believing,
Bad memory,
Keep em bleeding.

So twist an arm,
And break a fall,
Born to rule,
Born to rule,
You'll waste your time,
If you try to clumb this ladder up out,
Born to rule,
Born to rule,
Born to rule.

Touching down in a private jet,
Self sabotage, messiah complex,
Smash and grab, won't break a sweat,
You play by the rules, this is what you get.

Sanctioned hits,
Not stealing,
Bad memory,
Keep em dreaming,
You don't get this,
you're not believing,
Bad memory,
Keep em bleeding.

Hey,
Get through the day,
If that's what it takes,
To fill the space between your ears,
Just holding place,
Not losing face in all this fear,
Familiar taste,
Sharp and bitter,
All too clear.

Taking a backseat,
One with the concrete,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted,
Can't eat, don't sleep,
Wasting on the scrap heap,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted.

No,
I'm not alone,
Made this a home,
Dragged with the undertow,
Rest in the deep below,
Take what you're owed,
Make no mistakes,
In the weakness you show.

Taking a backseat,
One with the concrete,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted,
Can't eat, don't sleep,
Wasting on the scrap heap,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted.

Never been so low,
Never been so low,
Never been so low.

Taking a backseat,
One with the concrete,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted,
Can't eat, don't sleep,
Wasting on the scrap heap,
Bittersweet heartbeat,
You take it for granted.

Treading water, disconnect,
From the model world you play on,
Like a deaf God, Can't hear the firing squads,
Wrong day to take the blame on.

Just give em a lie,
To play on,
Fear is the state,
Just give em a lie,
To put the blame on,
Fear is the state,
Control propagates.

Something pulls you further in,
Anything to believe,
Always in need, part of me.

Some make a choice,
Some take it,
Some burn,
Some let it go,

Some take it,
So tell you what you wanna know.

Tell you what you wanna know,
Yeah tell me what you wanna know,
What you are,
Yeah tell me what you know.

Quit my day job,
The air feels electric,
Almost stumbled under the weight,
Dressed to the nines and I'm walking over,
Ready to see my best mates,
Blast my music the vibes are rocking me.

What kind of person should I be?
Let’s get some eyes on me,
Lets get it one, two, three.

Is it blue, is red,
The dream in your head,
Show me magic tricks,
Let me scratch that itch,
Will you flip the switch?
I'm spending my day,
Just dancin away,
Do you want to relate?
Do you?
I want to,
Here’s you invitation to my broad musical,
I don’t want a dress code,
Do you?
Don’t want to,
Get to the venue,
In your bodysuit,
Don’t try to confuse.

What kind of person should I be?
Let’s get some eyes on me,
Lets get it one, two, three.

Don’t stop, why don’t you let go,
Why don’t you get some,
Why don’t you
Gimme, gimme gimme gimme,
Don’t stop, why don’t you let go
Why don’t you get some
Why don’t you
Gimme, gimme gimme gimme.

Let’s get some eyes on me,
Let’s get some eyes on me,
Let’s get some eyes on me,
Let’s get it one, two, three.

Fever dreams,
Reminded me,
Of old science fiction,
Shows,
With action sequences,
That made even Jackie Chan,
Seem slow,
And when I woke up,
All alone should I remain or should I go,
But I don't know.

Your sweet tired eyes,
I want to take the weariness away,
I stand with you today,
But should I go or should I stay,
And if I paid off all my debt,
Would I still have something to owe,
But I don't know.

And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I love you,
I guess I'll never know.

I want to see you far away,
And I need to have you near,
I want complete security,
And I need a little fear,
And if you tell me to leave,
I might suddenly appear,
I'll never go.

And then early in the morning,
When you're just about wake,
I think of what I never said,
Promises I'll never make,
And then I thank my lucky stars,
As you curse your deadly mistake,
We'll never know.

And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I need you,
What the river flows,
And I don't know,
And I don't know,
Why I love you,
I guess I'll never know.

He has a fancy leather chair
It’s always spinning and reclining
He’s so comfortable
And self assured
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
Cool and so energetic
Sweet and so sympathetic
Funny and dressed correctly
He has an office on the 14th floor
I don't know what goes on upstairs
There’s love affairs
And Friday things
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
Smooth and so calm, collected
Nonchalant, say the right things
Funny and dressed correctly

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

You could fly to the moon,
Discover a wonder drug,
You could solve world hunger,
If you want it badly enough.

Find the love of your life,
Grow thicker hair,
Buy total satisfaction,
Or whatever gets you there.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

. Did you make your bed this morning?
Did you write your thank-yous?
Your mind makes the world around you,
You’re behind the autocue.

All of this will be one day yours,
If you never let yourself stop,
And whatever you set your mind to,
Is the thing you’ve already got,
In here.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.

When they look into your eyes,
Will they see the madness in your heart?
Will they see how far you've travelled,
Just to reach the start.

Better to burn out brightly,
Than to fade and fizzle away,
So turn you heart into a firework,
And in the darkness follow your flame.

I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love,
I am ready for my close-up,
I am ready for love.
