[Intro]
You're a slave!
Gaze in the mirror, take a look at yourself
Eyes glazed over, a lesser man
More like a walking corpse

[Verse 1]
Mindless and dilapidated
Executing a mentally embedded repetition of motions
Every waking day another moment enslaved
Conditioned to be numb and complacent

[Chorus]
Vital signs are deceiving
Every breath you take
Is not yours to keep
The light shining at the end of the tunnel
Advertently deceiving
Vital signs are deceiving
Every breath you take
Is not yours to keep
The light shining at the end of the tunnel
Advertently deceiving

[Bridge]
Since birth we were cursed
With the mark of the beast
A symbolic surrender of life
And it's meaning
Since birth we were cursed
With the mark of the beast
[Chorus]
Vital signs are deceiving
Every breath you take
Is not yours to keep
The American Dream is a fallacy!

[Post-Chorus]
You're already dead
In compliance with normalcy
Our captors wage war with worthless paper
To devalue our lives;
Relinquishing mind, body and soul
Servants to the machine!
A slave of corporatocracy!

[Verse 2]
Once you exit this world
You won't be remembered
Unless humanity transcends
This monetary monarchy

[Outro]
Slave!
Open your eyes
Get off your knees
Slave of corporatocracy
Slave!
Open your eyes
Get off your knees
Slave!
