Hardwire

Holy roller, mind controller

Suspicion on the faces of the newborn

Governor, governor

Of our state of complacency

Blood is thicker, oil is thicker

Hustler, guzzler, with stamina

Fact denier, death defier

Legitimizer of dodgy braggadocio

I don't want no heroes

'Cause someday, you see the wire

And the lust for lacking

To their building leaping as they tire

Bonds and bondage

Shacks and shackles and dreams deferred

Systematic attacks and roadmaps to nowhere

Murder music, music to murder by

Hardwired, you're hardwired

To build it up and smash it down again

Hardwired

To raise it up and raise it down again

Hardwired

Psychic shrapnel, hoovering envy

I don't want no heroes

'Cause someday, you see the wire

And the lust for lacking

To their building leaping as they tire

You're hardwired

Hardwired

You're hardwired

Redefinition, non-discrimination

It's standard behavior

Illegalized hippies

Dodging bullets, dodging bullets

Outrunning bullet flies, outrunning bullet flies

Daddy mentioned, you're dodging bullets

Tumbler, tumbler, bumbler

Kicking and screaming, kicking and screaming

Into a century of tins

Kicking and screaming

It's standard behavior

Standard behavior

It's standard behavior

Standard behavior

I don't want no heroes

'Cause someday, you see the wire

Someday, you see the wire
