lyrics

this new religion is haunting
neurons crossfire in my brain’s reality lobe
all of my friends are talking like we're living in a movie
and the plot is full of holes
evil and tyranny
every side is selling and every side is being sold
but it feels good to have faith in something
it feels good to fear whoever's in control

we believe in conspiracies
we love to hate the elite
there's too much they won't let us see
so we believe in conspiracies

we believe in conspiracies
the history of oppression is the history of greed
it’s a communicable social disease
so we believe in conspiracies

oh my god, it's so simple
i mean, of course, deceptively so
they've got the money so they write the rules
it's no coincidence they're winning
it's not happenstance that we will lose
but we're still alive and clicking
demoralized and mentally scarred
this validates this victimized feeling
there's nothing i can do, if they're who i think they are

we believe in conspiracies
we suspect the authorities
are we just helpless? are we just sheep?
working and dreaming for the machine

we believe in conspiracies
cover-ups and propagandizing
PR's a multi-billion industry
so we believe in conspiracies

but our believing just fits the design
the paranoia just keeps us in line
we don't know who put these thoughts in our brains
but at least we're entertained
