[Intro - stone church organ swell, distant congregation murmur] [Spoken - low, sarcastic, Swedish accent] Bless you, for a fee... [Verse 1 - live band, congregation clapping] White teeth, white wall, white lie for sale Sells you healing, sells you fail Crystal water, forty quid a sip Manifest your wealth, let your sanity slip Filtered face in a rented loft Says hard work is just too soft Ten steps to be just like me Step one: pay, step two: see [Pre-Chorus - preacher cadence, crowd building] Same script, new skin... Same trick... [Chorus - full congregation and cathedral choir] PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! BLEACH YOUR SOUL WITH WHAT THEY AINT! PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! SELL THE CURE FOR THEIR OWN COMPLAINTS! [Verse 2 - heavier live groove, rhythmic clapping] Guru in sweatpants, priest in Lululemon Baptized in branding, born again premium Trauma as content, breakdown as brand Healing in public, cash in hand Quote from Jung that Jung never said Says love yourself, then sells your dread Empty eyes, but the ring light's on Pray to algorithm till your soul is gone [Pre-Chorus 2 - half-whispered, organ drone] Bow down... Buy now... [Chorus 2 - bigger choir, congregation response] PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! BLEACH YOUR SOUL WITH WHAT THEY AINT! PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! HOLD THE LIGHT YOU NEVER PAINT! [Bridge - breakdown, preacher and crowd] [King] I was lost, now I'm found, for 9.99 a month! [Congregation] HALLELUJAH! [Growl] FOUND WHERE?! IN A DUMP?! [Congregation] SAVE US! [Breakdown - crushing 7/8, shouted by band and congregation] TEETH! WALL! LIE! SELL! PRAY! PAY! BREAK! WELL! [Guitar solo - roaring church reflections, congregation cheering] [Final Chorus - full scream, choir, circle-pit congregation] PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! NO SOUL LEFT, JUST WHAT YOU PAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! PLASTIC SAINTS! [Growl] BLEACH! IT! ALL! [Outro - fading organ and room resonance] [Spoken - calm, disgusted] Namaste... and checkout. [Congregation - wild standing ovation, clapping, distant coins]
