Exile in Creeptown

Out here no one knows my name I’m just lost in the crowd No voice, who’d hear me anyway? When life is so loud Surrounded by monsters, surrounded by ghosts And I’m a vampire out on the west coast Where there’s too much sun and too many wolves And a graveyard for love where once we stood And it’s burning now, it’s all burning down But they keep going round and round and round And it’s turning out that everyone around Will watch as we all tumble to the ground And as the sirens sound and they release the hounds We best go underground and we best go now And I can hear them pound, so don’t make a sound Because once we’re found, its exile in Creeptown Out here no one sees my face Through my mask you don’t know what’s fake No choice, lie like everybody Surrounded by vultures, surrounded by beasts We’re all on the menu, it’s all you can eat They’re throwing us scraps just to keep us at bay While I’m like a lion locked up in a cage What are they feeding me? Tastes like hyperbole The hypocrisy to tell me that I’m free Born into need, life in captivity They threw away the key We are majority Now it can only be either you or me Reality TV, social celebrity They systematically divide society Creeptown has brought us to our knees Out here in Creeptown, man, you better watch out This is dog eat dog like you’ve never seen it before This is like, we’re like gladiators thrown into the ring for the big cats’ entertainment But instead of sitting in the ima cavea, we’re streaming it straight to their pocket How’s that for reality TV? It’s like, they moved it all online, but we’re still all just chasing the carrot Running on the hamster wheel that is industry There’s no you do you in Creeptown No, This is simulation theory with the highest stakes imaginable This is life It begs the question, did Creeptown turn man into a monster? Or was man always a monster and Creeptown was just the byproduct? Predator or prey, surrounded by decay Will you stand and fight or will you run away? This is judgment day, you’ve got a choice to make Pick a side or get out of the way With every move we make and every inch we take We’ll push back Creeptown until it breaks And in these streets of rage, it’s not too late to change We’ll get assembled and we’ll take back the day
