lyrics

MEGALOMANIAC

Sentimental vanity
Everywhere insanity
Embarrassed by humanity
Always can’t wait
Hurry up eternity
How we gonna turn the key?
Someone get a tourniquet
Or a band-aid

Human race gunny sack
All the moral fiber’s in decay
All the megalomaniacs
All your laurel’s gonna suffocate
‘cause you’ve been resting on them
Too long now they’re getting smothered
You always sing the same old song
Don’t you know any others?
How ‘bout that one that has words and a melody?

Always saying that we’re doomed
From the womb to the tomb
Can only fit so much gloom
In a hand basket
Everybody’s gonna die
Feel helpless terrified
Cars are falling from the sky
Blowing gaskets

Fiction over throne
Now you’re gonna have to face the fact
Your ego’s overblown
Now you’re gonna need a bigger hat
You think so highly of yourself
You don’t need any lover
You always paint the same old picture
Like to see another
How ‘bout one that’s in black and white and color?

Sentimental vanity
Everywhere insanity
Embarrassed by humanity
Always can’t wait
Hurry up eternity
How we gonna turn the key
Someone get a tourniquet
Or a band-aid

Human race gunny sack
All the moral fiber’s in decay
All the megalomaniacs
All your laurel’s gonna suffocate
And you’ve been bragging ‘bout old glories
Like some banner oh brother
You always tell the same old story
Don’t know any other
How ‘bout the one with the beginning, middle and ending?
