Engage the Fear Machine

Here we go again, the world is coming to an end

Engage the fear machine and collect the dividends

That's it, you filthy monkeys,

Keep your eyes on the bright and shiny

Just for you, a brand new-and-improved catastrophe.

Pure-bred Pavlov, primetime apocalypse

Hit the panic button and reap the bloody benefits.

Paranoia writes the checks

Strung out like a marionette

A hole in the sky, a hole in your head

It's business as usual

We're bringing you disaster in high-def.

Once again, my friends: the world is coming to an end

No empty threat this time, so let the witch hunts begin

The sky is falling, seal the boarders, heighten the anxiety

A steady diet of hysteria shapes history.

Pure-bred Pavlov, primetime apocalypse

Hit the panic button and reap the bloody benefits.

Paranoia writes the checks

Strung out like a marionette

A hole in the sky, a hole in your head

It's business as usual

We're bringing you disaster in high-def.

Stream the latest threat from the limelight economists

Fabricated peril from contagion to communists

Fear delivered to your door by racketeers and strategists

Another advertisement war sold by the media terrorists

Paranoia writes the checks

Strung out like a marionette

A hole in the sky, a hole in your head

It's business as usual

We're bringing you disaster in high-def.
