NO GODDAMN MASTERS [Verse 1] You built your little kingdom Out of panic, debt and blame Put a price upon the truth Then sold us tickets to the game You taught us how to hate You taught us how to choose You handed everybody colors Then made damn sure somebody'd lose You sold fear by the gallon Sold anger by the pound Built your fucking empire On keeping our heads down But every empire has a morning When nobody comes around And every throne looks pretty fucking stupid When there's no one left to bow [Pre-Chorus] No more begging No more choosing No more asking who to trust You wanted faithful little soldiers YOU GOT THE WRONG FUCKING ONES [Chorus] NO GODDAMN MASTERS NO GODDAMN KINGS NO MORE KISSING THE ASS OF THE MACHINE KEEP YOUR MONEY KEEP YOUR LIES KEEP YOUR FUCKING PANIC AND YOUR MADE-FOR-TV FIGHTS NO GODDAMN MASTERS NO CHAINS LEFT TO PULL YOU CAN'T CONTROL A MAN WHO'S DONE BELIEVING YOU [Verse 2] Turn off the cameras Let the talking heads scream Let them sell another crisis To an empty fucking screen Let the red side blame the blue side Let the blue side blame the red Let them keep rehearsing speeches Nobody's listening to again Let the algorithm beg me Let the headline call my name Let the house keep dealing cards To nobody at the game Let the machine keep screaming FEED ME Till its fucking throat goes dry I finally learned the bastard starves WHEN I DON'T FUCKING BUY [Pre-Chorus] No more begging No more choosing No more swallowing your dust You wanted frightened little followers YOU DON'T FUCKING GET US [Chorus] NO GODDAMN MASTERS NO GODDAMN KINGS NO MORE KISSING THE ASS OF THE MACHINE KEEP YOUR MONEY KEEP YOUR LIES KEEP YOUR FUCKING PANIC AND YOUR MADE-FOR-TV FIGHTS NO GODDAMN MASTERS NO CHAINS LEFT TO PULL YOU CAN'T CONTROL A MAN WHO'S DONE BELIEVING YOU [Bridge] I KNOW YOUR HOUSE I KNOW YOUR CARDS I KNOW YOUR FUCKING GAME I KNOW YOUR MACHINE I KNOW YOUR FEED I KNOW EXACTLY WHY I'M ANGRY I KNOW THE LIE BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT I KNOW THE HATE BECAUSE I FOUGHT IT I KNOW THE SCRIPT BECAUSE I READ IT I KNOW THE MACHINE BECAUSE I FUCKING FED IT NOT ANY MORE [Breakdown] KEEP YOUR RED KEEP YOUR BLUE KEEP YOUR SIDE KEEP YOUR RULES KEEP YOUR FEAR KEEP YOUR FEED KEEP YOUR HATE I DON'T FUCKING NEED IT WHO OWNS ME?
