          G            F               C              G
I watched technopagans baptized by The Reptile in the sun
        G          F             C        G  
In that California valley of our Lady Silicon
    G                    F              C             G
Antichrists were bargain priced and the sky was oh so clear
       G             F             C              G
Always sunny, always funny and the end was always near


Yea, I wander that antique store of our culture time to time
The recession of ambition zapped me right between the eyes
Activistic figurines effortlessly moral, wept
While new hatesmiths forged the swords that cut themselves across the neck

 
Chorus:
        G                F                C                G
I don't love it, I don't hate it, I don't even know what's real
          G            F                 C            G
Yeah, the more I understand, the more misunderstood I feel
      G                  F                 C          G
I'm alright now, I don't fight now, it may be I never learn
             G                F                C            G
They say you rise up from the ashes, why'd you ever have to burn

With a lizard's disposition and a lab coat for a dress
Lord they synthesized the genuine, we all were wedding guests
Hairless wolves warned desperate sheep, Revelation's rapture's nigh
The benevolence of predators will always blow my mind
 
Chorus
 
Guitar solo
 
Harmonica Solo
 
 
100 smoking deputies tore off in search of jewels
Where's the manhunt for our reason, the future rests in hands of fools
When that kismet asteroid hits, bury me down in the crater
You can scream at the abyss, the abyss returns the favor
 
 
Chorus
