American Paradox Lyrics - An American Paradox - Strung Out

One gaze from its electric eye 

Immortalizes you forever in their hearts and minds 

Messiah of the people savior of the servants 

On this runaway train without a cause 

Everyday I tell myself 

I gotta find a way out of this American paradox 

Paddlin' like a dog to the bone that's going to splinter me 

And they know what's best for my life 

Winding backwards it creates a discord 

That calls itself progression on a grander scale 

The supermodel monster turned crackhead 

At the wheel of this automated virgin sacrifice 

Everybody step in line 

It's time to get your piece of the American paradox 

Bitin' at the hand that fed me this illusion 

Now I'm in for the ride of my life

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

This perversion gains its momentum 

My resistance turns to fear at its changing face 

I sold my soul to forces still unknown 

And I don't want it back 

Prescription dementia riddle-ated protection 

From impurities of the heart and mind 

I've cancelled my subscription broken covenant 

Now there is no question whose side are you on? 

Everyday I tell myself 

I gotta find a way out of this American paradox 

Bitin' at the hand that fed me this illusion 

Now I'm in for the ride of my life 

I don't want to feed myself from the appetite of excess 

And I don't want to be another voice in the wind 

Got it easy in a world that's not supposed to be 

It makes me wanna rip, I think too much about me 

Photos 

In a world full of mirrors your reflection is all you see 

And I can't stand what's becoming of me 

So I'll scratch my eyes out rip this face off 

And rebuild something new for the world to choke on
