version 1:
from Brokedowntown (April 13th 2003) (3:44)
Idols made of wax pretentious to the max
Crankshaft people walkin down the waves
Immaculate mockeries, plugged in sonic factories
Archived like there's something worth to save
A carnival of cliques, who wants to be like yesterday's pick
Waste of space religions rotting in the kitchen
Complacent dirges best in semaphore
A festival of rejects, recycled dope and cold sex
Back to the dry wells to tap some more
A carnival of cliques, an audience of stones and bricks
Amplified distortion, completely lame proportions
You watch them all voraciously depart
You can see it in the sewer, in the piles of manure
Put a nail through crap and call it art
A carnival of cliques, leave me be, I'm feeling generic
Crankshaft people walkin down the waves
Immaculate mockeries, plugged in sonic factories
Archived like there's something worth to save
A carnival of cliques, who wants to be like yesterday's pick

Complacent dirges best in semaphore

Amplified distortion, completely lame proportions
You watch them all voraciously depart
You can see it in the sewer, in the piles of manure
Put a nail through crap and call it art
A carnival of cliques, leave me be, I'm feeling generic
