Primed so meticulous, stripped down to the nucleus
Of everything that sickened me before I started viewing this
I've read it in the glazed, painted vacant gaze of this shell of a human before me
We thank the lord for the ego afforded the shallow now
Such handsome propaganda, truly business accused of show
And they're cuing the applause sign now
Pretty little casualties in temporary tragedies
Born from the same place self-doubt grows
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready pose
Around here "diva" ain't much of a compliment
Celebrate the undiscerning, don't question what you're learning
Crank the violin 'cause Rome is fucking burning now
Culture shown in effigy presented as "celebrity" like tiny vultures crying out "believe me!"
But careful there, honey, 'cause your roots are showing now
Such handsome propaganda, truly business accused of show
And they're cuing the applause sign now
Pretty little casualties in temporary tragedies
Born from the same place self-doubt grows
Cold and hollow, red carpet ready pose
Around here "diva" ain't much of a compliment
What a cherished myth of marketing
Propaganda with complexion so clear
Tomorrow's insecurities playfully draped
In the second-hand styles of next year
And it's so hard to look away
Although somehow harder yet to stare
These picture perfect pawns are salesmen now
Like carpetbaggers shilling their wares
And in reality I really don't care
'Cause asshole's a fashion that I never could afford to wear
