[Verse, rap: Jackson]
A magazine ad featuring ruggedly handsome and raw
People saying that love is the law and that we're all equal
Is really selling a scent containing a strange animal gland Secretion or a chemical frequently named
As the cancer-causing agent you can dance and be vacant
You can b**h about television with sh**ty stations
You think the answer is to k** my TV?
I'll blow your microwave up, it doesn't play DVD's
Or video ca**ette tapes of inspiring films
It violently rearranges food molecules and k**s
Nutritional content traditional heating
Keeps a modern man's logic from rotting during a power meeting
Moderate well being just isn't adequate
I must be equipped for no matter how bad it gets
Ambivalent sometimes but diligently soldering
Together the suit of armor I dream of modeling
[Chorus, sung: Jared]
Nobody tries to avenge or resist
Things they do not believe to exist
You and I both take advantage of this
Every time we speak
We only confirm or deny what is known
Will we condemn or compete for the throne?
We are Atlantis, Egypt, and Rome
We are what we seek
[Verse, rap: Jackson]
I used to holler and hoot because it suited me
Participating in various, victimless tomfoolery
And later on I was elusive and tight-lipped
Only surfacing when certain statements required nice quips
Now it's a balancing act, different day, different hat
You got a picture of an avalanche, I'll look at that
Spaghetti dinner at a cattle ranch, I might attend
The daily dosage recommended I'll exceed and then
I'll send a letter to the manufacturer
Stating that I am not a consumer, I am a capturer
I'm not affected by things i get outside of
If love is light when the night strikes, I would like love
Shining a bright beam blinding and unseen
Centuries-old entities sent despite my dreams
Before it regains sight I'm fully awake
Stirring its evil energy inside a protein shake
[Chorus]
