It will be beautiful when I'm cashing in the life I stole,
With the perfect sound at the perfect time, while they sing the words I forced to rhyme.
And it's safe to say they'll forget your name, when the song I "wrote" is The Stereo.
I don't have to justify, paying your dues is a waste of precious time.
Why would you lead when you could follow?
We live to kill each other
We are the wealthy and the poor
We shout but we don't listen
All we want is more than we deserve, realize our potential, maximize our return.
We'll conserve a portrait of everything perfect, a name every house has heard.
I'll take it all, you leave nothing.
