Bandwagon.

They need you to pledge allegiance
Or the soup line's not for you.

If the color isn't blushing
Then there's nothing you can do.

Back straight and eyes the whitest
Sing the songs they love to sing.

And if your answer doesn't equal
Here's to hoping you'll see Spring.

Watch the blossoms.
Feel the breezes.
Smell the fragrance
as it eases -
Take that old familiar pin prick in...
As the venom poisons all the dissent...

Model behavior
disengages me
And kills the Savior
Of whom you want me to be
Suck me dry.
Pump me up.
Drink it down - your poison cup.
And see your mitosis, evolution
In me.

It's okay to play the masses
This is who we're supposed to be.

If I'm anything like you
Then I've succeeded losing me.

Your brand marks decorate
Over the colors of my skin.

I may be just another zombie
But I'm outside looking in.

Watch the blossoms.
Feel the breezes.
Smell the fragrance
as it eases -
Take that old familiar pin prick in...
As the venom poisons all the dissent...

Model behavior
disengages me
And kills the Savior
Of whom you want me to be
Suck me dry.
Pump me up.
Drink it down - your poison cup.
And see your mitosis, evolution
In me.

I wish I could believe that what you're doing to me is good.
I wish I could believe that what you're lying to me is good.
I wish I could believe in everything rainbow that you create.
But I'm unable to succeed in every all of the evil you demonstrate -

Model behavior
disengages me
And kills the Savior
Of whom you want me to be
Suck me dry.
Pump me up.
Drink it down - your poison cup.
And see your mitosis, evolution...

Disturbing behavior
sparks this disbelief
Contradictions blemish
what is left of me
Suck me dry.
Pump me up.
Wear it proud - scars fucked you up.
Broadcast mitosis, condone evolution
In me.
