New Age Video (MV)

The elephants stomp their feet
Their fragile limbs about the savage empty wasteland
Inside, there's a party
And the proletariat have come to lend a hand
Well f*ck me for trying, right?
I haven't slept in weeks man
I just need the floor plan
So I can circle the rubble and get to where the ladies are at
Add another wheel to the pack
And all the amphetamines and opiates your stomach can stand
Get me a gin and a gram
Right?

The silver reflected
But the lives within have not connected
Travel and trust
And think about the lines you cross
They're dancing in place
And tempting the dragon
But I can hear their screams
As the motions begin to crack them

They're saying

If I'm gonna be a slave
I might as well be one who gets paid
If you won't help us hold them down
Then you're the one who gets f*cked

The cavernous hall can barely withstand their stomping
They're pounding so hard it's like they're trying to repopulate the earth
They're just so happy for this chance to catch up and network
The ravenous horde are waiting out the weather
They're not the ones to blame, they don't know better
They don't wanna be saved
They don't wanna be slaves
They just want a songbird to be put in a cage
They keep their persona on
No matter where they go
There's lineups to the back of the hall
But it's all in who you know
They long to hear their name in the crowd
They're acting Hollywood
But it's nice to see another dawn in this cave

If I'm gonna be a slave
I might as well be one who gets paid
If you won't help us hold them down
Then you're the one who gets f*cked
If I'm gonna be a slave
I might as well be one who gets paid
If you won't help us hold them down
Then you're the one who gets f*cked
If I'm gonna be a slave
