Measured words and a faithless kiss
From men who rule with iron fists.
Compassion here is bought and sold
But the publicity was sweet.
As the faithful gather round their screens
To weep for one more nameless kid,
Who died to make the faceless rich.
Who died to make the faceless rich!
We're hopeless!
We're hopeless!
In talent shows for media whores
And idiots fighting fashion wars.
A new religion for the poor,
Where everything is bought and sold.
As the worthless gather on their knees
In their sweatshops by the sea
To make the things that set them free.
To make the things that set them free!
We're hopeless!
We're hopeless!
We are - we're hopeless.
We are - we're captive.
We are - we're hopeless.
We are - we're captive.
No more!
We're hopeless. We're captive. No more!
We're hopeless. We're captive. No more!
We're hopeless. We're captive. No more!
