lyrics

Did we make this too easy for you to believe
This fantasy, non-reality that we conceived?
You see, we make the whole thing up
it's just a way for us to earn a buck -
an elaborate construct.

Oh I know it seems like we're being cruel,
But we deal in numbers, statistics, revenue.

And what you see on movie screens,
On your televisions and in magazines,
Fuels the scheme.
We make you feel special somehow.
Getting your face to stand out from the crowd
Makes everybody proud.

I know it seems that we don't care for you.
But we deal in numbers, statistics and revenue.

And yours is not the first mind to be taken in by our persistence.
And you won't be the last to follow the path of least resistance.

Did we make this too easy for you to believe?
Did we... make this too easy... to believe?
