Pariah Under Glass Lyrics
symbolized patronized
and then tossed out to dry
revolution or humiliation
promise the bread the wine
a life that always shines
???
pick them up from the floor
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
ride - your new thrill ride
smug - it suits you well
god - in your new science lab
master - of your new promised land
pick them up from the floor
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
echo care and fake some tears to show up your opponent
throwing bones with bread and circus to disguise the proof
you only empower yourself when those in need become
your new test subjects in your smear campaign 101
recycle control
from their hands to your own
every word is dropping empty
recycle control
from their hands to your own
every word is dropping empty
promise again
focus away
from day to day
for your own ends
their means are dying
shame - the act is old
count - your saintly sermon cells
angel - for your own rewards
bring - the mercy merchants down
pick them up from the floor
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
pick them up from the floor
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
and then tossed out to dry
revolution or humiliation
a life that always shines
???
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
smug - it suits you well
god - in your new science lab
master - of your new promised land
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
throwing bones with bread and circus to disguise the proof
you only empower yourself when those in need become
your new test subjects in your smear campaign 101
from their hands to your own
every word is dropping empty
from their hands to your own
every word is dropping empty
focus away
from day to day
for your own ends
their means are dying
count - your saintly sermon cells
angel - for your own rewards
bring - the mercy merchants down
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins
to get knocked down again
when you're bored with your mission
and a new one begins

I think this song is about how politicians and religious figures will appeal to the masses and exploit them to have thier will carried out. "promise the bread, the wine, the life that always shines if they vote in the proper direction" points at this, as does "For your own ends, their means are dying", the chorus, and the overall message of the song.
this song is so fucking intense. reminds me of AFI.
