It's a planet of arsonists, cheap quarter artists 
Where you hardly remember names 
Where the heroes you once had are scarred and destroyed 
By the hollering mob of little boys 

In the face of it all they say give me a man 
Who'll burn way better than me 
And I'll watch him descend on the needles, the models 
And I'll watch him go down for free 
Yeah I'll watch him drown for me 

How the chords the howls the whispers 
That we built when we were kings 
End up washed upon the portals 
Of their aching personal skin 
I am not your next of kin 
And yes I care 

And so what were the chances, a battle of mice 
And the death of rock and roll 
And we're all coming down 
Naked and stoned, bowing to those 
Who now rule the kingdom by self decree 
Cause the motion is theirs, even we 
Must be serving the mass, with an absence of class 
And a graceless mp3 
The only songs they love are free 

How the chords the howls the whispers 
That we built when we were kings 
End up washed upon the portals 
Of their aching personal skin 
I am not your next of kin 
And yes I care 
Yes I care 
In your rgb e-world 
And yes I care
