Your popularity contest veiled as a revolution

wallow in misery, suffer your celebrity

hold your status above me

hold it high above me

wallow in your misery, suffer your celebrity

you hold a special place in my heart with handshakes and smiling faces...

...and all your actions, they have a reason

premeditated compliments

your life - contorted, contrived - and you play the part so well

in their lives I've seen compromise but I will not compromise

your game, your rules, you win

I am their slave

I'm just a pawn in their game

Labels make the best the best targets

persecution is its own reward so still you carry your cross for all to see

why live without an audience?

in their lives I've seen compromise but I will not compromise

complacent slave!
