[INTRO] Look around Tell me what you see A kingdom built on noise A crown for stupidity [VERSE 1] We cheer for the reckless We worship the blind Rewarding the loudest While truth stays behind The screens keep flashing The circus expands A thousand distractions Held high in our hands The wise speak softly They’re buried below While fools become legends In every damn show [PRE-CHORUS] The higher we lift them The harder we fall Yet nobody listens Nobody at all [CHORUS] This is the glorification of foolishness The celebration of our emptiness We build them up just to watch them reign Then act surprised when they spread the pain The glorification of foolishness Turning ignorance into significance The world keeps spinning but we’re standing still Praising every poison like it’s some kind of thrill [VERSE 2] Every warning ignored Every lesson erased Common sense abandoned For another pretty face A headline hero A momentary king Famous for nothing Yet praised for everything The loud drown out reason The crowd wants a fight Choosing illusion Instead of the light [PRE-CHORUS] The mirror keeps showing The damage we’ve done But nobody turns And nobody runs [CHORUS] This is the glorification of foolishness The celebration of our emptiness We build them up just to watch them reign Then act surprised when they spread the pain The glorification of foolishness Turning ignorance into significance The world keeps spinning but we’re standing still Praising every poison like it’s some kind of thrill [INSTRUMENTAL] [BRIDGE] How many times Will we repeat The same mistakes The same defeat How many lies Must we defend Before this road Finds its bitter end [BRIDGE BUILD] Knowledge is mocked And wisdom denied We traded our future For comfort and pride The cost keeps growing The debt remains due The fools aren’t the problem It’s what we choose [BREAKDOWN] Who do we follow? HEY! Who do we praise? HEY! Who do we crown? HEY! Every single day! HEY! We made the idols! HEY! We built the stage! HEY! Now we’re trapped inside The monster we created! [FINAL CHORUS] This is the glorification of foolishness The celebration of our emptiness We build them up just to watch them reign Then act surprised when they spread the pain The glorification of foolishness Turning ignorance into significance Maybe the answer starts with what we see Maybe the change begins with you and me [OUTRO] The fools were never gods We made them that way And we can choose another way.
