It’s not what it is
It’s what I want it to be
No biz like show biz
To nix reality
I’m the Lizard King Kid
Lord of the Flies
I’ll flip my lid
If you refute my lies
It’s a quo pro quid
A Triumph of the Id
There’s gold in the fooled
Shameless grift makes my fame
There’s a war for your soul
I’m on the side of the flames
Yeah, there’s a war for your soul
And I’m winning
Your mind’s gone dark, your cold heart cruel
But you don’t even know now you’re sinning
Sold out to the lowest bid
In a Triumph of the Id
Slaughtered children in the news
They were only something I could use
And twist into the latest craze
For the helter skelter mice
running blind
in my maze
Truth and virtue have hit the skids
It’s the twilight of wisdom and the Triumph of the Id
