LYRICS: Cult of Personality
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of Personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights, A Nobel Price
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the Cult of Personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the Cult of Personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality
Cult of Personality

Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
I'm the Cult of Personality

5. Corey Glover, Danny's kid.
He was in a movie or two. Full Metal Jacket, I think. Vietnam movie. Love that band. Hated the Mick Jagger produced songs.

6. It's amazing how many songs from the rule of the first bush president...
...apply today. Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album, for instance. Another thread mentions an Oingo Boingo song. This is by design, not coincidence. This government's policies are brought to you by the same fucking traitors as Watergate and Iran-Contra. They're just getting better at getting away with it.
