"The people surrendered their liberties and threw away their human dignity."
"They gave up their lives to individual human beings"

[Verse 1]
Paralyzing, elixir of contempt
Overriding sobriety's attempt
A narcissism we so eagerly embrace
Smile as we assemble the machines of our disgrace

"They gave up their lives to individual human beings"

[Chorus]
Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite
Mind parasite

[Verse 2]
Metastasizing in such a willing host
The real disease has been misdiagnosed
Dehumanizing and difficult to face
We've built our own destruction, the machines of our disgrace

[Chorus]
Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind parasite
Mind parasite

[Chorus]
Submission
Corrosion
Without a fight
Parasite

"I heard you're rather famous on Earth. Then let me give you a bit of advice. Here among the stars it is better not to be quite so cocky."

[Chorus]
Submission without a fight
Corrosion, mind
Mind parasite
