story behind the song: of and for true believers of anything, and uses made of them
Lyrics
what do you think you're doing over there?
holding onto a lifeline with that knife
why do you think you really care?
cause they told you to, that's why
that's why
all the pretty videos, travelogues and guides
they didn't really tell you what's included in the price
all their pretty boy toys, girls and whomever else besides
they really didn't let you see them airbrush away the lies
they're all in disguise
why do you think you're even over there?
holding onto those lifetimes in your hands
bleeding through fingers held still in prayer
clotting their rivers of sanguine sands
now you understand
such a small percentage you don't even know
the ways that they mean to recharge you now
such a strange feeling when you're used up saying no
when even a yes wouldn't save you from them anyhow
