Everybody Knows Your Name


VERSE 1
Caught in a spider web of lies and rumors
Cut that shit out like an overgrown tumor
The harder you fight, the stronger they come
It’s a raging epidemic of sheeple so dumb
There is no escape from the worldwide prison
That thrives and survives on political schisms
You can run for your life or for your own death
Either way, you’re face-down like the rest

CHORUS
Everybody knows your name
Everybody spreads your shame
Everybody plays mind games
Everybody kills your fame
Everybody get down!

VERSE 2
You’ve got your own pornographic cinema
Gone are the days of being a private citizen
Gone are the days of endless wealth
Gone are the days of your mental health
Anxiety closes in on your cracking mind
Depression isn’t too goddamn far behind
Schizophrenia talks to you all hours of the day
A broken soul is the price you shall pay

CHORUS
Everybody knows your name
Everybody spreads your shame
Everybody plays mind games
Everybody kills your fame
Everybody get down!

BRIDGE
I know it isn’t fair
As you rip out your hair
As you fall down the stairs
As nobody seems to care

VERSE 3
No comeback tour on this year’s calendar
No epic fanfare of any such caliber
No open arms to give you a warm hug
No bottles of beer to sloppily chug
Just you and your thoughts to keep you awake
Doesn’t matter how much Xanax you take
Dead in the water, dead in your bed
Dead to the world, dead in your head

EXTENDED CHORUS
Everybody knows your name
Everybody spreads your shame
Everybody plays mind games
Everybody kills your fame
Everybody wants your bounty
Everybody storms your county
Everybody fires their rounds
Drops your corpse to the ground
Everybody get down!
