Here Comes the Thunder Lyrics
You sacrifice your genius on the altar of ambition
Completely unaccountable for whatever you may do
You fake the unintentional to fit your disposition
Painfully unreliable in whatever you pursue
Put it all in a line then knock it over
Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow
Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter
Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Dragging you under, down, again
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Seizing the wonder, let the end begin
Improvising failed attempts at cutting down the dosage
Meanwhile your own family is taking you to court
Yesterday's convenient lies are still paying the mortgage
Rock 'n' roll's not suicide, it's life support
Put it all in a line then knock it over
Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow
Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter
Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Dragging you under, down, again
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Seizing the wonder, let the end begin
Completely unaccountable for whatever you may do
You fake the unintentional to fit your disposition
Painfully unreliable in whatever you pursue
Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow
Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter
Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now
Dragging you under, down, again
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Seizing the wonder, let the end begin
Meanwhile your own family is taking you to court
Yesterday's convenient lies are still paying the mortgage
Rock 'n' roll's not suicide, it's life support
Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow
Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter
Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now
Dragging you under, down, again
Here comes the thunder, crashing in
Seizing the wonder, let the end begin

Anyone else think this is a jab at Marilyn Manson? Tim Skold left MM shortly before this album, and some of the lyrics seem to point to MM being an unreliable coke addict.
"Put it all in a line then knock it over Wrapped up in adulation, you better take a bow Do the math, seems the lines keep getting shorter Smothered in agitation, playing the villain now"
Lines are often references to lines of cocaine in songs. The lines getting shorter would refer to building tollerance to the drug and needing more to feed the addiction. Playing the villain seems like a reference to the new MM album, Born Villain.
