It's Alright

Vanity! Vanity! The whole damn world is vanity
The casual depravity, the downslide of humanity
Pray for a saviour, elect a polar opposite
But that’s alright cos everybody knows about it

Infamy! Infamy! Everybody’s got it in for me
This timeless bastard symphony has a dark prophetic ring for me
I keep on rolling, trying to find a better fit
And that’s alright cos everybody knows about it

Monetize! Monetize! Dollar signs in vacant eyes
Cut, divide and polarise like a herald of free enterprise
I get real paid but every penny is a counterfeit
But that’s alright cos everybody knows about it

Integrity! Integrity! The flip-side of celebrity
Turned out so respectably for late nights with the secretary
You’re so damn cool, you’d sell your mother for another hit
But I don’t care cos everybody knows about it

Elevate! Elevate! The weakest fucking candidate
Let ignorance proliferate and then welcome your new head of state
The charge will stand, even if I am a hypocrite
But that’s alright cos everybody knows about it
