    An older song, newly revised
    --------------------------------------------


    Brain-dead people rotting on the ground
    Acting like someone else, anything but themselves
    Living the perpetual life of a hound
    'Cause they contradict they could be anything else
    How much more could they really take?
    Every, every, every day played by someone else's game
    Watching mindless followers truly is a pain
    Watch them march and tug actor's manufactured reins
    Now it's too late to expostulate
    Their decision was made when they gave their brain

    How could you fall?
    After we've been through it all
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an icon?

    Disoriented perception of truth
    Through the mist they feed you lies, then begin to take your life
    Though the fog has made you blind, I can see right through
    I do not need to surmise to realize the pain you hide
    But how much more can you take?
    Every, every, every day, played by someone else's game
    Now you're a mindless monkey in their game
    Victim to Hollywood's manufactured reins
    Now it's too late, your mind's not gonna change
    Your decision was made when they stole your brain

    How could you fall?
    After we've been through it all
    How could you play the pawn
    Of an icon?

    Now you're just another tool
    In this game you're played a fool
    I can see just how you accord
    To the results marked in the board
    Now you're just another tool
    In this game you're played a fool
    I can see just how you accord
    To the results marked in the board
    Brainwashing hypnotic tactics
    Interviews, all the bombastic
    Commercials, mind control
    Wondering how much I could hold
    Because I know I can't fight forever,
    It's happening to me too.
    I just wonder when I'll lose
    Or what they'll do in my lassitude

    I cannot last
    But I must last
    I must fight back
    I will not join in this hell!
    I will fight to free myself
    I do not even need help
    'Cause in this song is an aplomb
    Of not having to be a pawn
    But it's too late for you to choose
    But that's okay 'cause I don't need you
    Anyway
    I can say
    I fought the fame
    And walk away.
