More sacred in death then in all of your life
You never did much except fall under the knife
But now we're enthralled and we can't let you go
We feed off the things that we think we should know
Sense of entitlement for the American dream
You came up from nothing and slipped in between
Left in the cracks, a casualty marked
But you fit in the role and you still played your part
Fight with the conscience that can't get away
From your voice and the looks coming off of your face
This isn't a dream, it's just a disgrace
But it leaves such a bitter taste
It leaves such a bitter taste
Tragedy raises the value employed
You could donate your life but we'd still be annoyed
There's nothing to say while you're still killing time
But now it's so sad and we've all changed our minds
American dreams lead to sobering light
When they all change to nightmares that slowly ignight
If success can be measured by the things we don't do
You'll be famous forever if you're red white and blue
Fight with the conscience that can't get away
From your voice and the looks coming off of your face
This isn't a dream, it's just a disgrace
But it leaves such a bitter taste
It leaves such a bitter taste
She didn't see it coming, she really couldn't tell
Her beauty was so stunning, but she earned her living hell
Her name will lie in infamy to put the day to sleep
Along with all the secrets that she felt she had to keep
I'm sure that it's a movie of the week
Things like these are never all that deep
Fight with the conscience that can't get away
From your voice and the looks coming off of your face
This isn't a dream, it's just a disgrace
But it leaves such a bitter taste
It leaves such a bitter taste
Living in this apathy, living in mistakes
This is our disgrace, this is our disgrace
