Soylent Green - Majestic Twelve

She called herself a breakdown 
Though she didn't mean it then 
The critics loved it so she said it so much 
She became the full embodiment 
And sunk down with the sin 
Her boyfriend knocked the walls down 
Though it wasn't what he meant 
And by the time he had that gun in his mouth 
There was no left left around him 
To give back the things he'd spent 
All those hours in that cramped little van 
Hoping for the gears of that machine 
And when they fill my plate, believe me I eat 
But the aftertaste tastes just like Soylent Green 
There's so much blood there on the grandstand 
Yeah, it's great to watch them die 
Children praying for their place, it's so real 
How can you not afford a ticket to 
A travelling suicide? 
If all the magic's smoke and mirrors 
If it isn't even there 
If it's all about just money and hype 
Maybe you can give some reason 
Why you think that I should care 
"Don't you want to be the one they all love?" 
I can't lie, at times I wish I held that scene 
But as the crimes unfold and suits go home safe 
And I crush my amp right off of the stage 
Go fish magic, can I catch it? I try 
To let you feel exactly what I mean 
I want to reach you, but God give me the strength 
To hold you free and clean from Soylent Green
