"I heard you're rather famous on Earth." - "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!" - "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so co*ky." [Verse 1] Paralyzing, elixir of contempt Overriding sobriety's attempt A narcissism we so eagerly embrace Smile as we a**emble the machines of our disgrace "The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity." [Chorus] Submission without a fight Corrosion by parasite [Verse 2] Metastasizing in such a willing host The real disease has been misdiagnosed Dehumanizing and difficult to face We build our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace "The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity." [Chorus] Submission without a fight Corrosion by parasite Parasite [Bridge] "You arrive here at a critical moment." "Telemetry, M: 12, year: 21-16" "You arrive here at a critical moment." "Telemetry, M: 12, year: 21-16" "I heard you're rather famous on Earth." - "Well, I'd say, my fame has reached the stars!" - "Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so co*ky." [Chorus] Submission without a fight Corrosion by parasite By parasite "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" [Chorus] Submission without a fight ("by the people, for the people") Corrosion by parasite ("by the people, for the people") "Shall not perish from the Earth" "They gave up their lives to individual human beings" Submission, corrosion by parasite [distorted] "Let me give you an advice."
