Regurgitator – Light Me On Fire lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am a master, I am a slave
I am a muscle on a minimum wage
I am amazed, I am appalled
I'm so confused, I don't give a fuck any more

I sit here clicking on a calibrated talent show
Feeling sick here - circling the rabbit hole
Another cannibal on the remote control
Riding through their white noise headless on my high horse

Yeah, I was born pimp and whore to fiscal quarters
Educated yeah, I can follow orders
Fellow hoarders - please fill out your order forms
Stick to your scheduled repayments and it'll all be yours

[Chorus 1]
L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Light me on fire
Sit back and watch the flames get higher
Take me until there's no me left
Everybody's playing like they're already dead, I said

[Verse 2]
Now I'm defined by what I owe
Another prisoner in a beautiful home
Don't really need this shit, I gotta have it
Sanctioned addiction feeding regulated dirty habits

Priapic stalagmites stab into the stratosphere
You've got the biggest neon prick? That matters here
Look at the matadors, swinging their wrecking balls
Their Gods have signed it off, let's make another war

Died for the corporate cause, and be born again
Made a few more massive holes, pay us, now we'll fill 'em in
This is the state of under mind unwind the status quo
Dead canaries in a data-mine that's gonna blow

[Chorus 1]
L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Light me on fire
Sit back and watch the flames get higher
Take me until there's no me left
Everybody's playing like they're already dead

L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Light me on fire
Sit back and watch the flames get higher
Take me until there's no me left
Everybody's playing like they're already dead, I said

[Verse 3]
Extinction imminent, who really gives a shit
Too busy fighting for the right to feel legitimate
We bob our heads to the bullshit on the mezzanine
And sweep the mess under the blanket with a smoke machine

My tiny deities, ill at ease with dying
I am just a stepping stone leading to another island
I am just a stepping stone leading to another island
I am just a stepping stone leading to another island

[Chorus 1]
L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Light me on fire
Sit back and watch the flames get higher
Take me until there's no me left
Everybody's playing like they're already dead, I said

L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-Light me on fire
Sit back and watch the flames get higher
Take me until there's no me left
Everybody's playing like they're already dead, I said
