The Odious - Heavy Rhetoric

You can talk your way out of everything
And convince people of anything
But over time your words loose meaning
Empty promises and false assurance
The subtle art of persuasion
Bask in the glory of your standing ovation

And overtime your hairline receding
Hollow gestures and secret agendas
The subtle art of persuasion
Bask in the glory of your standing ovation

Stop running
Stop hiding behind your heavy rhetoric
Take responsibility for what you say
Stop running
Stop hiding behind your heavy rhetoric
How long can you keep running away

Constantly learning new ways to pacify the populace
The new representative of this ill-fated metropolis
You think us mere plebeians
Armed with vicious terminology
You catch the world off guard

Stop running
Stop hiding behind your heavy rhetoric.
Take responsibility for what you say
Stop running
Stop hiding behind your heavy rhetoric
How long can you keep running away

You catch the world off guard
And take that which is so damn sacred
Petrifying the masses
This insidious sermon delivered

Orchestrating pandemonium
You appease us with these bullshit statistics
Waging war with a microphone
Calculated chaos
