Go to school and they fill your head
Sit exams for success
You're young with your flag unfurled
Those hopes will be crushed
By the weight of the world
Stand in line to get your due
Watch your dreams slide out of view
You work so hard
To pay the rent
Then wonder where the money went
They hide from you what you don't know
You think you've won, but you're too slow
They spin the wheel and let you think you've had your go
When will you realise you're living in a Horror Show
You're running in circles
Like a rat in maze
One way of wearing out your days
You have what you want
But not what you need
They wear you down
Until you're on your knees
Stuck in the only trap you know
Blind to your own HorrorShow
This is the way it is
This is the way it must be
To question it all would be crazy
They hide from you what you don't know
You think you've won, but you're too slow
They spin the wheel and let you think you've had your go
When will you realise you're living in a Horror Show
When you add it all up
It doesn't seem that much
You can't even understand
How and why you're life's so fucked
Was it the decisions you made
The one's that you delayed
Or the one's that didn't even come into view
Or maybe it's the next man
Who you think stole what's owed to you
They hide from you what you don't know
You think you've won, but you're too slow
They spin the wheel and let you think you've had your go
When will you realise you're living in a Horror Show
Hard to believe the world is unfair
So you submit to utter despair
The internet then pulls you in
To a fiction where the citizen is sovereign
Was it the Vatican or 5g or subliminal voices on TV?
The reason you failed, oh can't you see
It must be a deep state conspiracy
They'll reveal all the secrets
Showing how far things go
A place
Where conspiracies rule
Replacing all you think you know
So you lose your mind
And you lose your soul
Till you can't see
They've created a new Horror Show
