Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You hold a razor to your neck in your ignorance
And argue till you're blue in the fingertips
Mass suicidal, impulse to resist
Confirmation bias and "evidence"
[PreChorus]
The devil, the devil you know
The devil, the devil you know
[Chorus]
Idle hands do devil's work
Idle minds that go berserk
Strapped down, ventilated and revoked
As Occam's razor slits your throat
[Bridge]
Tribalized lobotomies
Extinction-level comedy
Entitlement, violence
A mutiny, arrogance
[Verse 2]
Prepaid ego trips in pointless directions
The road to hell is paved with bad concessions
Disastrous compromises with vanity
This fune-reality will mourn the death of expertise
[PreChorus]
The devil, the devil you know
The devil, the devil you know
[Chorus]
Idle hands do devil's work
Idle minds that go berserk
Strapped down, ventilated and revoked
As Occam's razor slits your throat
[Bridge]
The body politic has decomposed
Decomposed
Watch it all decompose
[Bridge]
You hold a razor to your neck
The devil, the devil you know
A razor to your neck
[Chorus]
Idle hands do devil's work
Idle minds that go berserk
Strapped down, ventilated and revoked
As Occam's razor slits your throat
[Outro]
Slits your throat
