lyrics

Building power from your false friends
An illusion of the next big thing
Exalt your bland mediocrity
Everybody's liking but nobody's listening
Be the Lord of the wasteland
In a world built on waste
Artistic mutton, go purchase a flock
Integrity is the cheapest commodity

But fairy gold turns to lead with the sunrise
You can't fool the world forever
When you get called out on all of your lies
Your paper army won't be there to help you

A desperate play for attention
So anxious to be a star
What kind of person would be King for a day?
Well, that's the kind of person you are.
Be the Lord of the wasteland
Be the King of Shit Hill
When your face is forgotten and your money's all spent
The music will continue on still, without you.

'Cause fairy gold turns to lead with the sunrise
You can't fool the world forever
When you get called out on all of your lies
Your paper army won't be there to help you

Your paper army
Your paper army won't be there.
