• Brain-dead people rotting in the ground
    Acting like someone else, anything but themselves
    Living the perpetual life of a hound
    'Cause they contradict they could be anything else
    How much more could they really take?
    Every, every, everyday, played by someone else's game
    They walk with us in manifested pain
    Elaborate dysfunction, how could we fall from grace?

    How could we fall?
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an Icon?

    Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They kill your brain, yet you accord
    Results are marked in the board
    Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They kill your brain, yet you accord
    Results are marked in the board.

    They try clouding your mind, but I can see the truth
    Accumulate your brain, simulate their own pain
    Then try to cloud my mind, but I just see straight through
    You are no longer sane, your happiness is fake
    How much more are you gonna take?
    Every, every, everyday, played by someone else's game
    Now you walk in manifested pain
    Elaborate dysfunctions, how could we fall from grace?

    How could we fall?
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an Icon?

    How could we fall?
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an Icon?

    Oh-oh
    Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They kill your brain, yet you accord
    Results are marked on the board
    Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They kill your brain, yet you accord
    Results are marked on the board
    Brainwashing hypnotic tactics
    Unintelligent word semantics
    Commercial mind-control madness
    It makes me wonder if I'll last and
    I'm thinking as I write this song
    If I last, then for how long?
    Will I stay free, or too be hexed?
    Will I be next?

    Will I be next? Will I be next?

    Will I be next? Will I be next? Will I be next? Will I be next?
    Will I be next? Will I be next? Will I be next? Will I---
    NO!

    NO!

    NO!

    NO!

    Oh, How could we fall?
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an Icon?

    (How could we fall?
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an Icon?)

    (Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They kill your brain yet you accord
    Results are marked on the board
    Now you're just their other tool
    In this game you are the fool
    They drop their propaganda bombs
    How could you play the pawn of an Icon?)
