Zombies Lyrics

I worship at the altar

Of my ego and my intellect

Then I wave my fists at God and wonder

Why it is my life's a wreck

I mock the ones who seem so silly

Loyal to a simple kind of faith

Because I've found ways to complicate it

Force it to fit into my own way

Shame shame shame

We've washed our brains

Because we fear the names of

Dead men walking of dead men walking

I'm not like all these other people

I'm so special look at me unique

I don't follow any leader

Except for all those experts on tv

I water down the truth so I can brag

About my love so deep

I don't care if you all perish

As long as you keep loving me

Shame shame shame

We've washed our brains

Because we fear the names of

Dead men walking of dead men walking

Bold look at me so bold

Speaking all the words that I've been sold

Brave look at me so brave

Speaking like a parrot in a cage

Virtuous look at all my virtue

I don't know how I do all that I do

It's easy

It's easy

It's easy

It's easy

Just close your eyes and shut your ears

And shut your mouth out of fear

Don't ever stand on what you know

Keep shallow faith don't ever grow

Make foolish men into your gods

And just pretend you're not their pawn

It's easy it's easy

But we are not all asleep

We see the dead for what they are

We've put to bed the fear inside of dead men walking

Of dead men walking

Of dead men walking
