Definition Overload

Turn up the radio
jump start the chemicals
What did they say?

Well, you're not an animal
a definition of zero
Attacked by the genes
of a century of shame

Don't make me say it twice!

You're a believer
a pretty little deceiver
the aftermath of purgatory
when the story ends
you'll say it again
say it again!

Don't you tell me

This isn't what you wanted
so I guess you should have
cut it out!

Information overload
all the children screaming “go”!
Go!
All the one's you thought wouldn't know
Go!
Everything you belittled
Go!
Lover's just a title
Go!
Go!
Go!

Well you're not an animal
a definition of zero
attacked by your own reservoir 
of shame

Go!

Pretty little deceiver
When were you a believer
In the countenance 
that you sold?

Go!
All the children screamin'!
Go!
All the lovers cryin'!
Go!
Little deceiver
Go!
Definition overload!
