MUSIC FOR SALE

Verse 1
The fine print's too small for your glassy eyes
But I'll tell you the words if you ask me nice
Your synthetic head cannot comprehend
And you won't know what you've done until the end
This place is my dollhouse and you're just part of the game
I can remake your world and even alter your name
Forget the powers that be and all of the mayors
I'm all you need now, for I am your player

Chorus
Lighting matches
Scratching up your cardboard walls
Burning plastic
Watching flames engulf the rooms
Sycophantic
Toy with your mind like it's a tool
Maybe it's drastic
But you need to learn to read my rules

Verse 2
Now, just do as I say and dig yourself a ditch
Let me change all your clothes, let me sell you a bridge
Messed around, so you found out, and now don't you see?
No more freedom for you, throw away all the keys
So I'll stand and I'll watch you while you make your little bed
And then lay in it, sleepy, rest your pretty little head
This decision was yours and now you'll remember
You're a pawn in the game, now bow down to your player

Chorus
Lighting matches
Scratching up your cardboard walls
Burning plastic
Watching flames engulf the rooms
Sycophantic
Toy with your mind like it's a tool
Maybe it's drastic
But you need to learn to read my rules

Bridge
You take my words in your teacup and you drink it all up
While everyone around you just begs you to stop
Now the cup is half-empty, so you beg me for more
One after another till you drop to the floor
A chest void of heart and a head void of mind
And a lump of ceramic is what you leave behind
A dreamhouse-arrest is all you will know
And everyday we will wonder how far will you go
How far will you go?
How far will you go?
Go
Go

Go and read between the lines!

Chorus (alt.) & outro
They're lighting matches
As we're scratching up our cardboard walls
They're burning plastic
Watching flames engulf our rooms
Sycophantic
They just use our minds as tools
Maybe it's tragic
But just shut up and read the room
