Let me smile a little while I'd like to sing a song

Wrap it in a candy coat that pleases everyone and the seed is sewn

That's what they want to know

For it will keep you slow and it will quell the rogue

Sung from every podium and singing through the shrines

A testament to triumph of the will of human kind and they play it slow

Listen to every note

And how does it go?

Just look in the mirror

Slowly...

Sing me an american chorus, sing it for us, don't let 'em down

If you sing well they'll adore us, we're a chorus!

But I'll keep letting you down

Darkness settles in the west, a curtain of the sound

To smother any discontent and keep the truth unfounded

In time you'll see just what they want you to see

And you may not agree but you will be broken

Slowly...
