A message in the bottle

Smashed right across your head

All those years of screaming outThe words you never read

Sucking on a xenon tit

All hail the cretin king

Apprentice to an idiot

A sycophantic dream

They say jump, you ask how high

And watch your freedom die

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What′s the cost of victory?

You always took the easy road

You always compromised

You never put the effort in

To read between the lines

Rutting in a garbage pit

Embrace the weaker breed

Join the pack of rabid dogs

And lick the hand that beats

On the cattle car, full speed ahead

Your ticket to regret

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What's the cost of victory?

A screaming paradigm of dysfunction

A superficial sea of reaction

A violent passion surrogate

You tied the noose around your own neck

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What is the cost of victory?

What will you believe?

Who will you betray?

What is the cost of victory?

The cost of victory
