Lyrics

The pilgrims found God again

The pilgrims rediscovered their faith in God.

Once they burned books, now their canceling

Previously burning books, now engaging in cancel culture.

But what they don't understand is they're controlled by fleas

People are unknowingly controlled by insignificant issues.

Watching glaciers collapse into the big brown sea

Observing the environmental impact of glaciers melting into the sea.

The lice came from God, and God came from us

Lice symbolize negativity or problems originating from a higher power.

Getting under your skin fills your head with rubbish

External influences causing confusion or worthless thoughts.

God is a product, and you're made in its image

God is portrayed as a product, and individuals reflect this image.

But you're not a duplicate, you're unique hot shit

Each person is unique and not a mere copy of a divine image.


The greatest trick that the Devil did

The Devil's greatest trick is making people doubt his existence.

Is making you think that he don't exist

Highlighting the deceptive nature of the Devil's influence.

The greatest trick that God did

God's greatest trick is making people believe in His existence.

Is making you think that he does

Emphasizing the complexity of faith and belief in a higher power.


That Unquenchable need is eating your psyche

An insatiable desire is negatively affecting the mind.

We built a god machine, but now it's programming us

Creation of a god-like entity that now controls humanity.

Next level diabolical, give it to me

A reference to a higher level of evil or deception.

More sponsored fruit from the forbidden tree

Consuming forbidden knowledge with consequences.

The fleas spread a plague, the disease of the mindless

Fleas spreading a mental plague among the thoughtless.

Eating time and courage to make you feel worthless

Depleting time and courage, causing feelings of worthlessness.

The great glass ceiling is slowly being lowered

Symbolic lowering of opportunities for certain groups.

While the eyes in the sky engineer a new Messiah

Powerful entities shaping a new figure of salvation.


The greatest trick that the Devil did

The Devil's trick involves denying his existence.

Is making you think that he don't exist

Reiterating the deceptive nature of the Devil.

The greatest trick that God did

God's trick involves making people believe in Him.

Is making you think that he does

Highlighting the paradoxical nature of faith in God.


Progress for progress stake

Advancing without considering ethical or personal values.

Forget morals or concept of self

Abandoning moral principles and self-awareness.

You get the turkey, they get genocide

Material gains at the cost of significant losses for others.

But everybody's ultimately feeding the lice

Everyone contributes to negative influences or problems.


The greatest trick that the Devil did

The Devil's deception involves denying his existence.

Is making you think that he don't exist

Reiterating the illusory nature of the Devil.

The greatest trick that God did

God's deception involves making people believe in Him.

Is making you think that he does

Underlining the complex nature of faith and belief in God.


Progress for progress stake

Advancing without considering ethical or personal values.

Forget morals or concept of self

Reiteration of the disregard for morals and self-awareness.

You get the turkey, they get genocide

Material gains at the cost of significant losses for others.

But everybody's ultimately feeding the lice

Everyone contributes to negative influences or problems.
