THE NETWORK LYRICS

1. We Are The Network

This is art, call it sex. We are murderers, we are murderers.
This is art, call it sex. We are murderers, we are the showstoppers.
This is art, call it sex. We are murderers, we are the riot.
This is art, call it sex. We are murderers, we are the network.
WE ARE THE NETWORK!

2. Faith In Lust

Stand up! Stand up! Who lost the bet leaving everything wrong?
Your heart is a gold mine and mine’s just a song.
Beat that! Beat that! You come with cupped hands, your eyes at the sky.
Now go kiss your God, then kiss me good-bye.
Stand up! Stand up! Who lost the bet leaving everything wrong?
Your heart is a gold mine and mine’s just a song.
You come with cupped hands, your eyes at the sky.
Now go kiss your God, then kiss me good-bye.
This place says it’s over you, over you.
This place is so over you, over you.
The rise and fall, the triumph of lust.
Great minds make great things, so carry your cross.
Fake your love.
Put faith in lust.
Fake your love.
Stand up.
Fake your love.
Put faith in lust.
Fake your love.
Stand up! Stand up! Who lost the bet leaving everything wrong?
Your heart is a gold mine and mine’s just a song.
Beat that! Beat that! You come with cupped hands, your eyes at the sky.
Now go kiss your God, then kiss me good-bye.
Stand up! Stand up! Who lost the bet leaving everything wrong?
Your heart is a gold mine and mine’s just a song.
You come with cupped hands, your eyes at the sky.
Now go kiss your God, then kiss me good-bye.
And all these mics are smashed from the poison spit.
Follow your heart if the majority goes for it.
The hard road’s long, but the short one’s paved.
The truth hits hard.
The truth hits hard but lies stop the cold.
The truth hits hard but lies stop the cold.
Stand up! Stand up!

3. Innocent v. State

Manufactured beauty, gold frame.
You’ll make X’s and O’s.
Gold frame.
You slit her throat.
Burn that bridge, cast that stone.
You’ve seen progress?! Press your suit, clear your throat.
State your case! And the evidence shows, without a shred of a doubt.
You’ll see the end of man.
If the prophet is right, nothing will change, no one will rise.
Enough to stifle the mind of a genius.
Blood in the streets, blood in the sky.

4. Prison Letters

What if we never wake up? What if we never see the sun again?
What if we never wake up? What if we never see the sun again?
I will not be a victim of the...
Cult.
Plague.
God.
Scream.
There’s no rules! Cult.
Plague.
God.
Scream.
What if we never wake up?
What if we never see the sun again?
What if we never wake up?
What if we never see the sun again? I’m coming for you.

5. Play Dead

If you should see a falling star, baby say a prayer for me.
Like sand through an hourglass.
Baby say a, baby say a prayer.
If your wish should come true, baby say a prayer for me.
Let your fucking wish kill you.
Baby say a, baby say a prayer.
Your lifetime’s brought you nothing but failure.
Go ahead, play dead.
If you should see a falling star, baby say a prayer for me.
Like sand through an hourglass.
Baby say a, baby say a prayer.
If your wish should come true, baby say a prayer for me.
Let your fucking wish kill you.
Baby say a, baby say a prayer.
Get up and move baby! Get up and move baby!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Last night I dreamt that I woke up in a perfect world.

6. Love On The Lips Of A Whore

Applause for this is the ceremony to take back our lives.
A night for the stars to burn, a night made up of cynical forevers.
Let’s change this world from a bedridden blackout, to an arrow pierced flaming sun.
Do you remember...
(love)...
what love sounded like? And only then, then you’ll recall.
Do you remember...
(love)...
what love sounded like? Even if the rivers run dry, there won’t be anyone but you.
But you, anyone but you.
Murderers! Murderers! Murderers! Murderers!
Applause for this is the ceremony to take back our lives.
A night for the stars to burn, a night made up of cynical forevers.
Let’s change this world from a bedridden blackout, to an arrow pierced flaming sun.
You were chosen to receive a gift.
So pure that non can speak its name.
Without fear of banishment.
Without fear of banishment.
Do you remember what love sounded like? Do you remember...
(love)...
what love sounded like? You were chosen to receive a gift.
Applause for this is the ceremony to take back our lives.
A night for the stars to burn, a night made up of cynical forevers.
Forever! Oh love, you’re such a threat.
Such a threat to this fight.
And every time I’m still here.
Oh, and you said this would never.
Never take me away from you.
And every time I’m still here.
And every time I’m still here.
You said you wouldn’t take back all your words.
You said you wouldn’t take love away from me.

7. Dead Like You

These splinters in my lips taste like you, taste like midnight.
These splinters in my lips taste like you, taste like midnight.
Taste like midnight, dead.
Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
Remember the desperate nights, the nights when we fell into secrets.
We were gone so long.
Watching for the sun.
These desperate nights, how they sound like you.
Remember...
Remember...
The nights, the nights when we fell into secrets.
And that we were running for so long.
Watching for the sun.
These desperate nights, how they sound like you! Dead.
All you can say is “This place is dead.” (It’s fucking dead.)
All you can say is “This place is dead.” (It’s fucking dead.) Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
Dead, dead like you.
All you can say is “This place is dead.” (It’s fucking dead.) This place is dead.
These splinters in my lips taste like you, taste like midnight.
These splinters in my lips taste like you, taste like midnight.
Taste like midnight, dead.

8. Send Them In

Send them in, another dozen dead walking men.
Hell-bent suppliers of the dead meat dividers.
With old man betrayers of the endgame faith buyers.
No more holy kiss - missile launch fillers.
With heaven’s breadwinners cutting everyman killers.
Give the networks something fresh to say, while their children pray safe on shore toasting to old blood.
Give the networks something fresh to say, while their children pray safe on shore toasting to old blood.
Send them in!!! This day will never end.
Families’ eyes will never dry.
But broken statues stand so clear.
May the gods watch over them, cause men will only watch over gold.
Right and wrong are just suggestions anyway.
Life and death are just suggestions anyway.

9. Bright Lights, Big City

Broken promises.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
(Broken promises.) And you’re an angel.
They say you would rule the earth.
Angel, I think they lied.
I think they lied.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, big city.
Bright lights, broken promises.
Angel.
Angel, they lied to you.
Angel, they lied to you.
I think they lied to you.
Angel, they lied to you.
I won’t fucking live, I won’t live my life through you.
I won’t live my life, I won’t live this life through you.
Angel, they fucking lied.

10. Pig’s Portrait

Hands bound (Baby it’s you).
Tongues tied (And the choice is gone).
Hands bound (Baby it’s you).
Tongues tied (And the choice is gone).
What the fuck do you want from us?!
It’s time to fill their lungs with gunpowder, and offer them a light.
Don’t give them their last words.
Don’t give...
don’t give them their last good-byes.
Give us your location and a list of all your lies.
Your lies have found their way (a falling angel) into complacency.
Hands bound (Baby it’s you).
Tongues tied (And the choice is gone).
Hands bound (Baby it’s you).
Tongues tied (And the choice is gone).
Let’s hold hands and share some blood.
Let’s hold hands and share some blood.
Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood!
What the fuck do you want from us?!
It’s time to fill their lungs with gunpowder.
This is your, this is your pig’s portrait, pig’s portrait.
This is your pig’s portrait.
This is your pig’s portrait.

11. Idiot Tender Welcomes

Each and every laugh will just draw tears.
Each and every, each and every laugh will just draw tears.
Let’s go back to the drawing board.
Let’s go back to the drawing board.
Smiling with their strange, broken teeth.
Smiles with their idiot tender welcomes.

[Shopkeeper:]
At this point its time to celebrate, it’s time to celebrate.
This is a celebration for those who have nothing but pointless and endless dreams.
Have you seen the damage done?
[Patron:] Only felt it.
[Shopkeeper:] Have your eyes failed you?
[Patron:] Long ago.
[Shopkeeper:] Have you anything to bring forth?
[Patron:] This life I’ve been given.

Let’s go back to the drawing board.
Known as living man.
Known as living man.
Known as living man.
It’s not the end of the world, but I can see it from here.
It’s time to toast to the dead and famous.
It’s not the end of the world, but I can see it from here.
It’s time to toast to the dead and famous.
It’s not the end of the world, but I can see it from here.
The big city of the world, right at my broken feet.
Each and every laugh will just draw tears.
Each and every laugh will just draw tears.

12. Oh, Girls

Oh, girls...
Where is all your big time revolution tonight? Oh, baby...
You said this would feel like love again.
Where do you want me to go, go, go tonight? Oh, sisters...
Take it home tonight.
Oh, brothers...
Take her home tonight.
Where do you want me to go, go, go tonight?
Where do you want me to go, go, go tonight? Oh, brothers...

You wanna be a rebel? So you wanna call this your world? We’re taking it back tonight.
We will take it back.

14. Scream

Let’s call this home.
Let’s call this the last lullaby.
Let’s call this home.
Let’s call this the last lullaby.
You wanna sing it.
You wanna sing it with us.
You wanna sing it.
You wanna sing it with us.
Scream it.
Scream it.

Scream! Soft noise and splattered blood.
Loud noise, the job is done.
The arrow is the sign to follow.
Your chest opens in a poetic shape.
An ugly gape.
You wanna sing it.
You wanna sing it with us.
You wanna sing it.
You wanna sing it with us.
Let’s call this home.
Let’s call this the last lullaby.
Let’s call this home.
Let’s call this the last lullaby.
Scream it! Scream!

15. Canon Figure

Idols.
A shell, and the stench of a million lies.
Give me back my fifteen minutes.
I can’t take you anywhere.
A shell, and the stench of a million lies.
Give me back my fifteen minutes.
I can’t take you anywhere.
You’re no canon figure.
You’re a fake.
You’re no canon figure.
You’re fucking fake.
I can’t take you anywhere.
I can’t take you anywhere.
You are so beautiful.
My eyes bleed hopeless tears that show my concern that this nightmare is your identity.
Idols.

16. End Transmission

End transmission.
Turn off your radio.
End transmission.
Turn off your radio.
Bring back my sweet melody.
End transmission.
Turn off your radio.
Bring back my sweet melody.
I miss her, I miss her pretty face.
Obey her, I miss her.
I miss her, I miss her pretty face.
Obey her, I miss her.
You found submission in her.
End transmission.
Now they got you singing along.
This is what they gave you.
This is what they gave you.
End transmission.
Turn off your radio.
End transmission.
Now they got you singing along.
End transmission.
Turn off your radio.
