Beast mode
Everybody's striking a pose
Everybody's taxin' my soul
They say it's all the rage
To never act your age
So what you gonna hit me with next?
Darwin or a crucifix?
So why you wanna do me like this?
It's always so extreme
But what's it really mean?
When you're beggin' for a brick
Just to throw it back and forth
And you call each other sick
And you're comin' back for more
Back for more of what you love
Back for more of what you hate
You can't stop, stop, stop
Cause you're already to late
So you kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
Good luck
Everybody's passin' the buck
Prayin' that they're makin' the cut
They'll sell you by the pound
And keep you underground
While you're scratchin' at the gate
Screamin': Come on, let me in!
Like a fully loaded zombie
Throwing caution to the wind
Back for more of what you love
Back for more of what you hate
You can't stop, stop, stop
Cause you're already to late
So you kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
(Hey!)
(Kill your conscience)
(Hey!)
(Kill your conscience)
(Hey!)
(Kill your conscience)
(Hey!)
(Kill your conscience)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Kill your conscience
Cry yourself to sleep
Kill your conscience
Better you than me
You're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
Kill your conscience
Kill your conscience
Yeah, you're all plugged in
Ready and rehearsed
Do your best, do your worst
Show me where it hurts
(Kill your conscience)
(Kill your conscience)
(Kill your conscience)
(Kill your conscience)
(Kill your conscience)
