kill your conscience

shinedown

beast mode

everybody striking a pose

everybody's taxing my soul

they say it's all the rage

to never act your age

so what you gonna hit me with next?

darwin or a crucifix?

so why you wanna do me like this?

it's always so extreme

so what's it really mean?

when you're begging for a brick

just to throw it back and forth

and you call each other sick

yet you're coming back for more

back for more of what you love

back for more of what you hate

you can't stop

'cause you're already too late

so you kill your conscience

cry yourself to sleep

kill your conscience

better you than me

you're all plugged in

ready and rehearsed

do your best

do your worst

show me where it hurts

kill your conscience

kill your conscience

yeah you're all plugged in

ready and rehearsed

do your best

do your worst

show me where it hurts

good luck

everybody's passing the buck

praying that they're making the cut

they'll sell you by the pound and keep you underground

while you're scratching at the gate

screaming come on
