Bio

Lyrics

You turn on the video
To the sound of the screams
And nobody knows ya
Onthe other side of the screen
Your parents gave you a good life
But you can’t even see
It stabs like a cold knife
Is this your American dream

And the sorrows grow
As you download your beliefs
And your tears still flow
As you process all of the grief

And when people tell ya
You can live your life for real
Do the zombies smell ya
And is it terror that you feel
In your mad video

You kill all of the newbies
In your x-box heroes drive
Did they die in the movies
Cause the Joker had your lead

You’ll be in the paper
As you mother’s evil seed
And disappear like a vapor
Just to fill the devil’s need
Mad Video
