[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]
