Lyrics
[Verse 1] Yeah, look
Another day of buying shit I never needed
Walking through the mall while my sanity is bleeding
Staring at the screen till my eyeballs turn to ash
We're trading all our time just to worship dollar cash
Every fucking billboard tells me who I ought to be
Selling packaged phantom dreams to a rotting apathy
You work a ninety-to-five in a cubicle of gray
Just to buy the rope that you’re hanging with today
It’s a circus full of clowns and we’re paying for the show
Dancing in the panic while the temperature drops low
Look around the room, tell me what you really see
A plague of empty zombies begging for a guarantee
[Chorus] And it’s all so fucking stupid, yeah, it’s all a sick routine
We’re buying fake emotions packaged neatly on a screen
Keep your plastic little empire, keep your quiet little life
I’d rather watch it burn than keep pretending it's polite
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Fucking stupid stupid
Fucking stupid
[Verse 2] You got a master’s degree in how to shut your mouth
Following a compass pointing straight into a drought
Driving fancy foreign cars to a grave you had to dig
Wearing designer suits just to look a little big
You’re terrified of living so you wrap yourself in fluff
Insuring every inch because you never have enough
Wake up, repeat, go to sleep, repeat the lie
We’re so busy making a living that we forgot how to die
I wanna tear the drywall out and rip the piping raw
Strip away the bullshit of your civilizing law
You think you’re so secure with your fences and your rules
You’re just a generation raised by corporate fucking fools
[Chorus] And it’s all so fucking stupid, yeah, it’s all a sick routine
We’re buying fake emotions packaged neatly on a screen
Keep your plastic little empire, keep your quiet little life
I’d rather watch it burn than keep pretending it's polite
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Fucking stupid stupid
Fucking stupid
[Verse 3] You stack your little boxes high and call it a home
Just a bunch of isolated cowards dying alone
You measure your worth by the likes on a page
Trading your freedom for a padded cage
I see right through the mask that you wear every night
Trembling and shaking when you turn out the light
You're a slave to the product, a dog on a leash
Preaching about peace while you're ready to-beast
So smash up the furniture, break down the door
We want a hundred more TVs than we had before
Take all your overtime checks and your status and pride
And stack 'em higher in the room where you run and hide
[Bridge] Tear the foundation right out from the floor
We're coming in to take a whole lot more
Let the heavy smoke choke out every single lie
Watch the pretty little world tumble from the sky
I am the voice in the back of your brain
Screaming out loud through the panic and pain
You bought the cage, now you're living inside
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
[Chorus] And it’s all so fucking stupid, yeah, it’s all a sick routine
We’re buying fake emotions packaged neatly on a screen
Keep your plastic little empire, keep your quiet little life
I’d rather watch it burn than keep pretending it's polite
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Yeah, it’s all so fucking stupid,
Fucking stupid stupid
Fucking stupid
