I Wipe My Ass with Showbiz
Rebellion's Price: Unveiling the Dark Dance of Showbiz
Lyrics
Live like a legend and die like an asshole
Living a legendary life but facing a regrettable death
You dance with the man, shake his hand
Engaging with authority figures, showing respect
Shine his shoes
Performing subservient tasks for those in power
Your revolution rock hit's sound like
Critiquing the quality of revolutionary rock music
Shit through your iPod
Deriding contemporary music trends as inferior
Put fists up like I got, not give me the loot
Taking a defiant stance, demanding compensation
How I tried to buy my soul back
Attempting to reclaim one's integrity
But the devil bent me over for it
Experiencing betrayal in a deal with negative consequences
Got me curled up in the shower
Expressing distress in a vulnerable state
Scratching the letters that read
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, regretting choices
Dear mother, I sold my soul for management
Confessing a sacrifice of personal values for career success
Fog blasts will not mask
Criticizing theatrical elements that fail to conceal reality
A stage act unnatural
Unmasking staged performances as unnatural
Those timed jumps cause merch bumps
Highlighting the commercial impact of well-timed stage moves
Now guests list the suit's
Listing VIP guests attracted by a polished image
And past the smoke hangs the backdrop
Describing the lingering effects of performance effects
Crowd screams holy mackerel
Portraying the audience's enthusiastic reaction
Verse-chorus, verse-chorus, a solo, then boom
Describing a typical song structure in the music industry
How I tried to buy my soul back
Repeating the struggle to reclaim lost integrity
But the devil bent me over for it
Reflecting on the continued consequences of a bad deal
Got you curled up in the shower
Portraying another character in a distressed state
Scratching the letters that read
Reiterating the regret over sacrificing values for success
Dear mother, I sold my soul for management
Restating the confession of compromising values for advancement
