Bottom Feeders Lyrics

March of the animals, an indication of a time where the passion of man is lived through fiction
Feed off the bottom line, let entertainment be the last refuge for mass opinion
Spouting the antidotes- another preacher of the right paints the world in black and white terms
Last time in the end zone, its hard to care when the world outside has guns against your head
Castigate then sedate, convert problems into needs
Then download and erode, let circuits replace all emotion

Bottom Feeding, Dragging us across the desert of the real…

Led up to the trough to be fattened up,
Human pigs so ripe for feasting
Following the rules, unquestioned
The animal farm falling under siege…

Rigging the hooks on the virgin nation, the mediated paradise unfolds
The outcome a process of brain starvation, habituate the viewers into clones

Bottom feeding, dragging us across the desert of the real…

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'd have to say that this is society's contribution to making everyone stupid. How we live in this sugar coated world of glam and fun and how everything is so damn easy. "Lived through fiction....black and white terms....let circuits replace emotion....brain starvation....clones". But as we all know, nothing in this world is sacred anymore and Jason is "dragging us across the desert of the real" It is a tough choice but i think this is my favorite song on the album which is filled with tons of goodies. Misery Index rules man.\m/
