What you see is not what you get
Like the puppets on a string
They move me, I'm not content
I just want to be free
I just want to be found
But I know that my heart's not willing to go down

So pick me up and I will give you a show
Tell me I'm a good boy, oh
Please, I want to know

What will come next when all the lies have been fed?
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?
Wake me up, the poison wasn't enough
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?

Hey kids
Here's another bit of information
For your mass mainstream media to concur

I will be another let down
So pour another drink
And rip these curtains out
I am finally free
I think I have found
A place where my heart won't get lost in the sound

So pick me up and I will give you a show
Tell me I'm a good boy, oh
Please, I want to know

What will come next when all the lies have been fed?
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?
Wake me up, the poison wasn't enough
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?

What will come next when all the lies have been fed?
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?
Wake me up, the poison wasn't enough
What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead?
