lyrics

plastics - plastics make it possible
for everyone i know to grow some damn obstacles
it's astronomical the damage that it brings
unaware of all the ugly things that lie underneath
they're on the magazines - the television screens
a clear image of what a person’s supposed to be
but they ain't getting to me cuz i can plainly see
through all your fabricated self indulgent fantasies
screw in that jealously light bulb and here we go
they let the envy take control of everything they know
they tear the pictures from the books and plaster up their walls
beauty’s a giant - yeah i heard that it stands pretty tall
casting a shadow so dark a storm fills the sky
and pisses out it it's fetishised lies into our eyes
with all these plastic manufactured superstars
that only make you forget how beautiful you really are

in this plastic generation the plot keeps getting thicker
we’re staring down a barrell and their photoshop’s the trigger
i don’t know what i want but i know i want it now
i don’t know how to get it but i’ll die before i’m proud

plastics - plastics make it possible
the concept of perfection is so damn illogical
it's astronomical - the money to be made
by those so desperate for change that they’ll shake hands with a blade
and when we come out you'd think it's halloween or somethin'
the way we got our faces carved up like some pumpkins
and it's all for nothin' cuz soon you'll discover
that once you fix one problem it's replaced with another
then another and another - now the story gets twisted
so grab some popcorn and watch the plot thicken
or should i say slim down a little sumthin' sumthin'
sayin' it's a diet but really we're eating nothin' - bluffin'
full circle - now we're all standing tall
faces lookin' like those pictures that we put on our walls
casting a shadow over the ones that we used to be
unaware of almost everything we've left underneath

i have seen the darkest of days
but nothing darker than the storm thats slowly coming our way
i have seen the blackest of plagues
but nothing blacker than the blood thats pouring out of veins
i have felt the maggots that crept
out of the wounds we've left untreated taking over our flesh
and i have smelt the traces of death
that shall release into the air as we share our last breath

ravenous ants work runways - quick how the mind plays
tricks and treats to make you all praise
the ravenous plastic
