Lyrics for Idol

What you call genocide, I call a day's work When I was a child, I grew up with morals Later I grew to forget You think that is evil? You think that is Satan? What can it be, is it a savior? How must we praise it, debase ourselves? Can it give us meaning? Is this the answer we've been searching for? An embarrassing form of plastic and piss Go on with your Fisher-Price idol What can it be, is it a savior? How must we praise it, debase ourselves? Can it give us meaning? Is this the answer we've been searching for? Who will you worship now? I AM GOD Who will you worship now? I AM GOD What can it be, is it a savior? How must we praise it, debase ourselves? Can it give us meaning? Is this the answer we've been searching for? What can it be, is it a savior? How must we praise it, debase ourselves? Can it give us meaning? Is this the answer we've been searching for? What can it be, is it a savior? How must we praise it, debase ourselves? Can it give us meaning? Is this the answer we've been searching for?
