Make a Face Like You Mean It (Vampires) Lyrics
Don't bother to show integrity
It never sells on the market
Chain all the world, chain all the world down
Don't fuss with creativity
They never asked for an artist
Take all the heart, take all the heart out
All the kids want to rock but they don't want to
Sit through another boring chorus
Chain all the world, chain all the world down
One or two at the top might give you a shot
But they don't want to risk any losses
Take all the heart, take all the heart out
The vampires want your blood
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
Drop by drop by drop
Drop by drop by drop
The camera flash cast shadows from their egos
Sing a song like you wrote it
Puppets don't think, puppets just dance
Make a face like you mean it
The vampires want your blood
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
The vampires want your blood
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
The vampires want your blood
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
It never sells on the market
Chain all the world, chain all the world down
Don't fuss with creativity
They never asked for an artist
Take all the heart, take all the heart out
All the kids want to rock but they don't want to
Sit through another boring chorus
Chain all the world, chain all the world down
One or two at the top might give you a shot
But they don't want to risk any losses
Take all the heart, take all the heart out
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
Drop by drop by drop
The camera flash cast shadows from their egos
Sing a song like you wrote it
Puppets don't think, puppets just dance
Make a face like you mean it
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah
The vampires want your blood
You can't always get what you want
But they do
You can't always get what you want
But they know
The truth is what they want it to be, yeah

this song is about the corrupt nature of the music industry. it discusses how the music industry is only out for money... they aren't looking to make a difference or present an opinion or spark a change... they want a simple hit. also, "puppets don't think... puppets just dance" refers to exactly what the leaders in the industry are looking for.
Even broader than just the music industry, this song could refer to the business world in general. Big businesses have a huge impact on society, politics, your lives and mine. They can get what they want and define truth how they choose. We're just their puppets, and our integrity and creativity doesn't mean a thing to them.
