lyrics

There is no true Scotsman, only Zuul
And since I’ve been known to sing out of tune
the Keymaster, I am not. I’m just another schlock locksmith
content with letting Zuul keep the gate according to its own smug judgments.

If you know, you know, you know?

I ate my sacred cows long ago, well done with ketchup.
How’s that for tragic?
A rite of passage for the undesired that exposes the magic.

Incantations and the symbols that shape all to come.
Deriving their power from their belief that there is none.
They become.
Now take ‘em to church.

Crack the throttle
Let it go.
Screw the scene.
And rock n’ roll.
Predictability is not control,
but it’s just as good in a pinch.

You praise the rebel
And break the mold.
Til the un becomes conventional.
It happens every time. It’s predictable,
and why magicians won’t expose their secrets.

If you know, you know, you know?

Ignore the timelines that you're fed, no need for global acceptance,
mind your thoughts that's all that counts in a world of social first,
fight those demons everyday is not an option but a curse,
just one look inside those eyes and you'll see how darkness works

Poor honey in their ear they'll bend the knee to any man,
far back as we can read talking always was the scam,
sharp tongues control the floors bashing any contradicting plan,
jaws dropped those lines you bought conspiracy theory wasn't a scam.

Now take em to church.

Crack the throttle
Let it go.
Screw the scene.
And rock n’ roll.
Predictability is not control,
but it’s just as good in a pinch.

You praise the rebel
And break the mold.
Til the un becomes conventional.
It happens every time. It’s predictable,
and why magicians won’t expose their secrets.

If you know, you know, you know?
