Slipping Lyrics

Look at these people
Amazing how sheep will
Show up for the slaughter

No one condemning
You lined up like lemmings
You lead to the water

Why can’t they see what I see?
Why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize
Your disguise is slipping
I think you’re slipping

Now that your savior’s
As still as the grave
You’re beginning to fear me

Like cavemen fear thunder
I still have to wonder
Can you really hear me?

I bring you pain, the kind you can’t suffer quietly
Fire up your brain, remind you inside you’re rioting
Society is slipping
Everything's slipping away, so

Go ahead, run away
Say it was horrible
Spread the word, tell a friend
Tell them the tale

Get a pic, do a blog
Heroes are over with
Look at him - not a word
Hammer meet nail

Then I win, then I get
Everything I ever -
All the cash, all the fame
And social change

Anarchy that I run
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn
You people all have to learn
This world is going to burn!
Burn!
("Yeah it’s two R’s, H-O-R-R, yeah, right")
Burn!

No sign of Penny, good
I would give anything
Not to have her see

It’s going to be bloody
Head up, Billy, buddy
There’s no time for mercy
Here goes no mercy

Anarchy. That I run! Not oxymoronic at all.

His face when he says here goes no mercy is so sad, he wasn't going to do it, and everything just went downhill at that point...
