Tell ya that the world's just fine
Tell ya to get back in line
Tell ya nothing's one of a kind
And it's OK your heart has died
Tell ya life is hurt
Tell ya to get back to work
Tell ya to be more like Bob
And ignore the fact you're being robbed

How many stones you gonna drag
To build our temple of flies'
How many years do you have left
To give away to the lies'
How much can we burn'
And how many souls have to die'
How much time do we have left
Before we open our eyes'

Tell ya you have to buy
Tell ya it's wrong to cry
Tell ya 'Now don't get sappy,
Not everyone gets to die happy'
Tell ya there's one way to live
Tell ya you've got more to give
Tell ya you need to be saved
Hey, are you missing the caves'

How many stones you gonna drag
To build our temple of flies
How many years do you have left
To give away to the lies
How much can we idly banter
To never here the screams
How many barriers must fall
Before we see nothing's what it seems

I'll tell ya how to feed the poor
To excuse that we're makin' more
Tell ya that we've risen above
But I won't tell ya who I'm thinkin' of
Tell ya it's wrong to hate
All the while we assimilate
Tell ya 'Under God, strong and free'
The American Dream scares the shit outta me.

How many stones you gonna drag
To build our temple of the flies
How man years do you have left
To give away to the lies
How much can we burn
How low will we crawl
How much time do we have left
Before the temple falls'
