Lyrics

You're just another blank face in an endless crowd
And the people won't listen so you try to talk louder than them
    Mindless chatter, nothing matters

When you build yourself up with the ashes of others
You ain't got much time till the planet discoveres that
    You are hollow, you'll soon blow away

        You're a parasite disguised as a human
        And you don't even know what you're doing
        And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
        And you don't get it, no
        You just don't get it
        Do you?

Your mommy and daddy must think you're the best
But you bet your sweet ass you're not fooling the rest of us now
    You're not fooling no one but your self

The line between elitist and defeatist is thin
So you sprawl yourself out on the border and grin all the same
    See you later, player hater

        You're a parasite disguised as a human
        And you don't even know what you're doing
        And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
        And you don't get it, no
        You just don't get it
        Do you?

Your mouth is writing checks that your talent can't cash
And you've overdrawn all your accounts, and your stash
is depleted to nothing like the rest of your life
So you steal from the rest of us just to survive

        You're a parasite disguised as a human
        And you don't even know what you're doing
        And it's sad that you're weak but you're weak just the same
        And you don't get it, no
        You just don't get it

        And you look to the left and the right
        You've got eyes and the power of sight
        You can look in the mirror tonight
        But you still can't see that
        You're a parasite
