1. Brand Name Prophet

+ Show full styles

[Energetic Intro: Four bars of frantic, palm-muted guitar, then full band explosion | Guitar Riff: Da-da-da-DUM!:]

(Verse 1:)
Don't wanna be a brand name prophet
Screamin' slogans through a corporate mic
My manifesto's in the discount bin
A revolution marketed just right
A satellite-fed conspiracy
To sell you your own agony
The network's on and you're on your knees
For the next chapter of your own disease

(Pre-Chorus:)
Well, maybe I'm the fraud of the century
A product-placed identity!
A cautionary dollar sign!

(Chorus:)
Don't wanna be a brand name prophet!
One nation under the market forecast!
Don't want a media circus conscience!
Where the soul you sell is the one you lost!
Hey!

(Verse 2:)
Welcome to the new disinformation
A pre-order for your own damnation
The talking heads all read the synopsis
And tell you what you're gonna think about this
A paperback rebellion, shrink-wrapped and clean
The most authentic ghost you've ever seen
So keep on buyin' what they're tellin' you to need
Another chapter of the same damn greed

(Pre-Chorus:)
Well, maybe I'm the fraud of the century
A product-placed identity!
A cautionary dollar sign!

(Chorus:)
Don't wanna be a brand name prophet!
One nation under the market forecast!
Don't want a media circus conscience!
Where the soul you sell is the one you lost!
Hey!

(Bridge:)
The ink is red, the pages white
They put my anger under stage light
They cut the heart out, kept the fight
A silhouette that feels just right... for TV!

[Guitar Solo 30-second solo. Starts melodic and frustrated, builds into a frenetic, whammy-bar-abusing crescendo of noise. Drums and bass drive relentlessly underneath:]

[Double Chorus - Full Band, Gang Vocals:]
DON'T WANNA BE A BRAND NAME PROPHET!
ONE NATION UNDER THE MARKET FORECAST!
DON'T WANT A MEDIA CIRCUS CONSCIENCE!
WHERE THE SOUL YOU SELL IS THE ONE YOU LOST!
DON'T WANNA BE! DON'T WANNA BE!
THE SOUL YOU SELL IS THE ONE YOU LOST!

[Outro - Music: cuts to just bass and drums, then a final, furious bash on the cymbals:]
