Living in Eden has its advantages
As a marginalized member of a spectator democracy
You choose your own dependencies
Lust, hate, blood, love
Don't think of it as manufactured consent
Think of it as the candy everybody wants

Enforcer State
Enforcer Taste

Hey
Hey
Give 'em what they want

If lust and hate is the candy
if blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we
Give 'em what they want

"I can't believe it's a pine leg brace!"

Hey
Hey
Give 'em what they want

So their eyes are
Growing hazy
"The bland leading the bland."
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are
Soft and lazy
Well

"TCHAIKOVSKY...the other white meat."

Hey
Hey
Give 'em what they want

If lust and hate is the candy
if blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we
Give 'em what they want

"We gain our innocence by taking yours."

So their eyes are
Growing hazy
'Cause they wanna turn it on
"Disenchanted Caramels of Barnum."
So their minds are
Soft and lazy
Well
Woo who
Woo who
Woo who
Do you wanna blame?

"The perfect combination of power and luxury."

Hey
Hey
Give 'em what they want

"Re-introducing the Amish Cheerleader."
If lust and hate is the candy
if blood and love tastes so sweet
Then we
Give 'em what they want

So their eyes are
Growing hazy
"Glazed apathetic leash."
'Cause they wanna turn it on
So their minds are
Soft and lazy
"GIVE 'EM WHAT THEY WANT."
Well
Woo who
Woo who
Woo who
Do you wanna blame?

This is what we do to ourselves, with outside help of course.
