lyrics

The queen of compassion waves from a balcony above the square. A crowd of idol worshippers have left their homes to gather there. What comes out of her mouth might sound so sincere and humbling. The message may be poison, but she makes it sound like medicine.

She cares for you and wants to keep you safe, yes each and every day. If that means never leaving her, I guess that’s just the price you’ll pay. Do people get what people want or do people get what they deserve? She’s the people’s champion, she says; some people have a lot of nerve.

Now you might think it’s something cool to witness. Or you might think that you could choose to miss this enlightenment, or rapture of the witless. But whatever else this is, it’s ugly showbiz.

Feel the holy glow and move up towards the light. See her putting on a show while she’s hiding in plain sight.

Now you might think it’s something cool to witness. Or you might think that you could choose to miss this enlightenment, or rapture of the witless. But whatever else this is, it’s ugly showbiz. Whatever else this is, it's ugly showbiz.
