Verse 1 - Sound effects & Bass

Lyrics: 
"Take these plastic people, read their lips, now let it linger.
Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?"

"C'mon Tightly hold your hand, Take a deep breath, Give them the finger.
Are you worried that your thoughts are not quite..." (continued below)

Verse 2 Lyrics:
"Unbutton your clothes, Undress your soul, Show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?"

"C'mon Take this gasoline tin head up high, Walk like a winner
Let bare feet be the last sounds that they... hear"
