  • It appears that we have reached the edge
    That zenith where stimuli and comatose collide
    Forty years ago the man proclaimed
    The age of the gross to be upon us
    And even though the man was destroying our heritage
    And insulting our intelligence

    That era has become very real
    We labor for pleasure and abhor the guilt of pressure
    My generation will go down as the architects of contemporary disgust

    Some have fought and died
    Others have allowed the strong to be butchered for a price
    They themselves don't care about and will never understand
    I myself am beleaguered by the selfish face
    Of a kind of man that is not mankind

    Distrust in information
    Fundamentalism of opinion
    Catastrophic boredom and a fanatical devotion
    To that which does not matter

    Where is your glory now, people?
    Where are your Gods and politicians?
    Where is your shame and salvation?
    You rage for no reason because you have no reason

    What have you ever fought for?
    What have you ever bled for?
    The face of the earth is scarred with the walking dead
    The age of the gross is a living virus

    This is the future you have created
    This is the world you have set ablaze
    All your lies are coming true
    All freedom is lost, all hope is gone Writer/s: Christopher Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, James Root, Michael Crahan, Mickael Thomson, Nathan Jordison, Paul Gray, Sidney Wilson
