Nobody gets it

Watched him rise to chase the greatness

drift around like he was weightless

evil dread was always stalking

power's his, he keeps on mocking

heartless acts destroy the glory

chapters over, start the story

in the streets he pleads for mercy

even though he isn't worthy

don't buy it,somebody steals it

don't use it,somebody deals it

don't need it,somebody takes it

don't feel it, somebody fakes it

don't love it, somebody hates it

if you don't make it, nobody gets it

watching from the highest tower

world sees his final hour

greed has given way to failure

for his sickness there's no pleasure

has no feel for passed relation

helps conceal his vegetation

varley feels the constant numbing

seems content the end is coming

don't buy it,somebody steals it

don't use it,somebody deals it

don't need it,somebody takes it

don't feel it, somebody fakes it

don't love it, somebody hates it

if you don't make it, nobody gets it

darkness fades and day is breaking

flesh is gray his bodies aching

sleeping on the morning papers

soul is simply floating vapors

mindless thoughts his brain is eating

distant drums have started beating

flaming feathers now surrounding

blood is thick, he's slowly drowning

don't buy it,somebody steals it

don't use it,somebody deals it

don't need it,somebody takes it

don't feel it, somebody fakes it

don't love it, somebody hates it

if you don't make it, nobody gets it
