lyrics

There are so many choices to chose from and make
given to us but somehow you know there should be so much more
and we are told that in order to survive we have to obey and abide
by occupational standards boring molds and predictable patterns

Buy into every fad and hype, laugh at all the same old stereo-types
except it as normal, the status quo and go along with the flow
of xenophobic, gripping riptides, don't even try to criticize or
develop a unique perspective, untouched, authentic and refined

Eat Your Heart Out, take a bite
It's the only thing that makes you feel
like life could maybe be alright

Eat Your Heart Out, drink your own blood
do whatever you want, don't take no shit from anyone

Nothing in this world makes any sense, it's all up-side down and
backwards thinking, white-washed and filtered values
Condescending familiar faces, scorching flames in frames of
fantasy, fame and fortune held out like a carrot on a stick

Sensationalized, vengeance, vigilance
Celebrated test-tube torches, one night stands, and lost causes
I know you, you're just like me, in so many ways we just can't see
any reason to follow the flock of sheep, and go to sleep

Eat Your Heart Out, take a bite
It's the only thing that makes you feel
like life could maybe be alright

Eat Your Heart Out, drink your own blood
do whatever you want, don't take no shit from anyone
