Cocky and loaded
Never seemed a good combination
Stubborn and nefarious
Don't lead to happy times
It doesn't take a genius
To rule this wasted nation
Just a pocketbook of platinum
And a vast supply of simple minds

With all the lies you've ever read
Disguised as insight from the dead
Is there nothing you can't do?

Who's gonna hold you down
When finally you leave this ground?
It's a full-blown ascension,
It's another dimension

You've been preaching to the masses
That there's gonna be some revolution
What the right hand doesn't show
The left can never understand
So how strongly we fight against our
New-found destitution
And you sit an wonder why
Nothing seems to go as planned

Standing here in limbo
With my arms stretched out akimbo
"This should seem like something new?"

Who's gonna be around
When judgment comes to your town?
It's a full-blown ascension,
It's the right of cognition

You paved the faithful's wretched path
They traded in the golden calf
Now they all bow down to you

Who's gonna wear your crown
When finally you leave this town?
This is full-blown dissension
It's another dimension

Who's gonna be around
When judgment comes to your town?
It's a full-blown ascension,
It's the right of cognition

Who's gonna hold your hand
When shit starts to hit the fan?
It's a full-blown ascension,
There's no misapprehension
It's your final perdition
