Mannequins by Kyshera Lyrics

Mannequins
By Kyshera
Words by James Kennedy

Silence, is it a yes or a no ?
Or does it just keep celebrities afloat ?
Like the swiss, say they're neutral
But they're quick enough to take the gold

You got money, got a platform and influence
But you use it to spread hedonistic ignorance
'Cos your hands are filthy from those bloodstained paycheques
You're just Mannequins for the system
You'd wear genocide if Gap would pay enough
And in return you lower the standards of our culture

Everyone use your station
Speak for the voiceless
Silence is compliance
With the criminals
Science, who's side are you on ?
You're an accessory to tyranny
And you are solely to blame
For the misuse of your technology

You give us medicine but you also gave us the disease
Nothing more than a prostitute with expertise
When you could do only good
Like a torturer that's only following their orders
Protecting lies while the truth is poisoning
And I hope the ghosts of all your victims will haunt you

But in Politics, in Science and Art
Who pays the piper calls the tune
But who needs who?
Who needs who?

Everyone use your station
Speak for the voiceless
Silence is compliance
With the criminals
House of cards, when it burns down
You'll be in there too
