Hooks As Hands

Semblance at auction 
The belly of the beast 
Target implied 
From tooth and nail deployment 

Institution of youth culture 
From a nation 
Self contained 

Strategy of dictation 
Read and refined 
Calculations come full circle 
So move away from the light 

Live and learn 
The value of vice 
Pestilence 
You"re all afflicted 

Live and learn 
The value of vice 

It owns you 
Like it owns the new dawns 
And changelings 
Never stop changing 

It"s sole purpose for power 
It"s sole purpose for power 

Addiction is cunning 
So bite the hand that feeds 
The want is calling 
Mutinying imagery 

There is no answer 
There is no answer 
For the living dead 

Possessing privilege 
From the law laid down 
It"s all been said before 

Byproduct for ethos and slogan 
Create and consume 
And then run like thieves 

Live and learn 
The value of vice 
Pestilence 
You"re all afflicted 

Live and learn 
The value of vice 
Pestilence 
You"re all afflicted 

It"s all been said before 
It"s all been said before 

Turn out the light 
It"s striking
