Lyrics:

Are you picking this up…. great

I’m very open

I’m not implicating you

Have fun

Thanks

I thought I was alone

But you know what I,m thinking you,ve been here before

You were tied to the demon

Staring in you own show and selling your snake oil

We believe what we choose

Is that not the truth

I looked into the eyes Of the plastic guru

who lived on the mountain

He was tied to the demon

Burning in the silence before the applause

We believe what we choose

Is that not the truth x4

Is that not the truth

Okay stop
