lyrics

On a planet ruled by the Shallow
Snake oil peddlers, spirits rotten Hollow
Your, fake flair, makes the air ,hard to Swallow

To the king of talking smack
Words matter and you can't take them back
Now, Backtrack, as, you feel, my attack

think your better than everyone else
Think your pride is safe up on the shelf
Look in the mirror man, check, your, self cause

Nobody gives a dam about your money
The lies you spit. Are no longer funny
We, hear your, threats and,we're, not, running.

Ego trip
Let it rip
One day soon your mouths gonna zip
The showmanship will break your lip
If you don't get a grip of this ego, ego trip

So for the liar, the freedom marauder
So content to send the truth to the slaughter
Ig, no-rant, to change, why, even bother

Not sure who you're trying to impress
Someone wth no self respect I guess
Leading your believers right into another mess

Thought you'd skate thought you'd never get Caught
Hiding behind all the People that you Bought
Time, to piss, or get off, the pot

If you try to send us down the river
Just remember there's a fish always bigger
If you talk a lot of shit then you'd better deliver
If,you talk, lots of shit, then you better deliver

Ego trip
Let her rip
On day soon that mouth will zip
Your showmanship
Will break your lip
If you don't get a grip
Of that ego trip
