Make A Face Like You Mean It (Vampires)

(album: House Of Heroes - 2005)

Don't bother to show integrity,
it never sells on the market.
Chain all the world down.
Don't fuss with your creativity,
they never asked for an artist.
Take all the heart out.
All the kids want to rock,
but they don't want to sit through another boring chorus.
One or two at the top might give you a shot,
but they don't want to risk any losses.
Take all the heart out.

The vampires want you blood.
You can't always get what you want, but they do.
You can't always get what you want, but they know:
the truth is what they want it to be.

Drop by drop.
The camera flash casts shadows from their egos.
Sing a song like you wrote it.
Puppets don't think, puppets just dance.
Make a face like you mean it.
