Imitation of Life Lyrics

That's the way that my father ran this house yet
And that's the way my grandfather ran it, all of it...
He kept it together for his son, my father kept it together for his
And I'm keeping it together for mine...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...

Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...

Up and over the mountain of "I don't care"
So far above my reflection in the silverware
I'm swimming upstream through the value spill
But I ain't asking for no medals for protecting my awareness
Hereditary gifts of God and country
Stacked against the one way door of equality
I'm still stranded on this globe of tradition
As the market plan grows, I grasp for solutions

Callous is the mindset, a part of the contract
Contaminate the soil for an overblown paycheck
Born into an age of flesh versus machinery
And advertising vessel in the midst of a feeling frenzy
Hell bent on injustice from the middle down
The kings crown shines like a bomb tested underground
I flip through the scenes of computer enhancing
As the f***** up dreams topples everything around me

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"

Set adrift the currents of the modern world
Where the bigshots earn and the expendable dwell
As the fabric of existance bulges at the seams
In eternal servitude to a stable salary
Pigment-nation, gender applications
Sign the dotted line and prepare for sedation
Today's ingenuity, tomorrow rendered obsolete
Follow their direction, make the fallacy complete
Taught how to hate, who to rape, to separate
To operate the race gate, to be a happy slave
But it's never too late to to change or find a way
To create a state of mind before we dissipate, disintegrate
Underneath the polish and the gleam the flesh and bone
Once an individual, now a company clone
You're just a counterfeit well groomed with a manicure
The chip's in place and the programming secured

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"

Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
Overdose overdose overdose...
That's the way that my father ran this house yet
That's the way that my father ran this house yet
That's the way that my father ran this house yet
That's the way that my father ran this house yet

Overdose...an empy shell full of lies
Overdose...exaggerational times
Overdose...an imitation of life
Overdose...exaggerational times

The traps have been set before your time
The double standard is fundamental when you're brainwashed
The rights to his-story are company property
Locked in a vault and lost for all eternity
We sit and stare, completely unaware
As the executives call the shots out there
We grow to be consumer machines
On a quest for promotion of the human imitation

h***genized, civilized, fresh off the production line
Engineered genetically to stimulate human life
Designed, aligned, and over defined
So our morals and intelligence never combine
In the televised race for sucess
Oblivious of the lives, lives! that are crushed in the process
Of the freedom grind with this billboard dynasty
Character plague, strip away all humanity

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"

Blind to the lines of the suits and ties
I parfumate the price with the slogan to fit the crime
Luxury formes into hooks for the status quo
"Life is not my own to lead but that's the way it goes"
