That’s a Lifestyle (Live at Power Station)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Who will stop wasting the lives of the brave Based on a lie? Who will stop wasting the forest and seas? We know what will survive Who will stop wasting the time? Who will stop putting quarters upon on our eyes? Who will not place himself higher than we For a senator's prize? [Pre-Chorus] We wander out wild-eyed Kinda drunk and kinda high We know what for and why (Why?) That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle [Chorus] 'Cause the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone And the rules are there to hurt And that's the way it's done Yeah, the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone 'Til it's satisfied and done It wants blood, blood, blood [Verse 2] Who could look up from the numbers and say "Something ain't right"? Who could disrupt the abundance and pray Not for weight but for light? How could we risk the empire As the apprentice descends into seasons of Idol When our old, white Lincoln encrypted and high Sputters down from the sky Red-eyed in July, weeping glycol? [Pre-Chorus] We shout out loud, megaphone Kinda zoned but listening in We browse our own episodes (Why?) That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle [Chorus] 'Cause the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone And the rules are there to hurt And that's the way it's done Yeah, the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone 'Til it's satisfied and done It wants blood, blood, blood That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] When the predator dips out from the haze Who knows the price? When the words mercy and justice are raised Do you think they'll apply? When will we count all the signs? When will we finally not let fear weaponize? When will the courage to breathe and let breathe Assure the land will survive? [Chorus] 'Cause the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone And the rules are there to hurt And that's the way it's done Yeah, the monster eats its young 'Til they're gone, gone, gone 'Til it's satisfied and done It wants blood, blood, blood That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle That's a product, that's a brand, that's a lifestyle
