I am the voice of the next generation
And I will live up to your worst expectation
Protect me, infect me, dissect me, inject me
Elect and suspect me again and again

Be careful what you say
I'm the voice you hear inside
It's you that I'll betray
Your head when you sleep at night

You'll never get away
You crucify the one you see
But he is you and you are me
I am your world and I'll never stop turning

I am the flame that's eternally burning
Hear me, you'll fear me, you'll love and endear me
You'll kill to get near me, again and again
Be careful what you say

I'm the needle in your vein
It's you that I'll betray
I keep you safe from all your pain
You'll never get away

I'm the hand that twists the knife
Take your stupid life
X marks the spot
Be careful what you say

I'm the voice you hear inside
It's you that I'll betray
Your head when you sleep at night
You crucify the one you see

But he is you and you are me
You'll never get away
Elect me, suspect me
Be careful what you say

You'll want to protect me
It's you that I'll betray
Love and endear me
You'll kill to get near me
Next
