Lyrics
Verse
Microwave prophet in a denim suit
Selling miracles in a drive-thru booth
Got a plastic crown and a paper grin
Say “plug me in,” let the circus begin
Television teeth chewing on the news
Every channel singing “you can’t lose”
But the pixels itch and the signal bends
Shake my hand, I’m your new best friend
Caffeine dreams in a shopping cart
Swipe your soul with a credit card
Mascot dancing in a meat parade
Flexing hard in a mirror maze
Chorus
Plastic crown, static brain
Smile wide for the acid rain
Say my name, say it twice
Discount god on a clearance price
Plastic crown, don’t ask why
Everything’s just passing by
Turn it up, let it drown
King for a day in a plastic crown
Verse
Bubblegum logic in a business tie
Selling freedom with a buy-one lie
Got a hotline straight to my doubt
Press one now to opt back out
Mascara melting on a billboard face
Running laps in a rented space
Identity sold in a vending machine
Pick your flavor of self-esteem
Flex like a ghost in a protein shake
Muscle car dreams but the brakes don’t break
Talk real loud but the words don’t stick
Everybody’s just a clever trick
Chorus
Plastic crown, static brain
Smile wide for the acid rain
Say my name, say it twice
Discount god on a clearance price
Plastic crown, don’t ask why
Everything’s just passing by
Turn it up, let it drown
King for a day in a plastic crown
Final Chorus
Plastic crown, (cut the feed)
Static grows where I can’t see
Say my name, (glitch repeat)
Does it mean anything?
Plastic crown, melting down
Lost and found in a background sound
Turn it up, let it drown
Nothing fits in a plastic crown
