Industry Standards

face your fears, turn the lights out
i wanna know if you can live without
with the carpet pulled out from under you
everything you've been told is too often not true

when the silence is a symptom
you're a victim of a system
constructed under lies
and the promise of brighter skies

they say if you work a little harder
they say if you're just a little smarter
they say it's not hard to get big and rich
(if you know the right people and know all the tricks)

so i'm sorry i've dragged you in
made you think that you could win
i suppose i was like you
just a sucker who bought it too
