And you know who's creating islands
Of increasing entropy
And mesmerized circus monkeys
Dissolve like quaaludes in lemonade
Industrial moguls trot out their sermons
They're begging for a new sound
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights
Oooh, crack, baby, crack
Marionettes with halos immortalized
Doomed variety acts
You're so full of lies
Pimped in X-factor make-up
Applause over end credits
As the ghouls leave the theater
You may be very sexy
But you're not an artist at all
Karaoke pipe dreams of rock'n'roll eunuchs
Proclaiming Dick Rowe for their hero
Marionettes with halos sell out their rights...
You gotta sell your soul
