Useful Idiot

(Verse 1)

You wear the badge like a crown of rust

Swear you’re righteous, but it’s blind man’s trust

Echo every word they feed

Like a dog that’s trained to bleed

You march in line, salute the fraud

Tattoo lies like they’re from God

They hand you chains, you call it pride

Useful idiot — weaponized

(Pre-Chorus)

You think you’re chosen, think you’re bold

But you’re just bought, just bought and sold

A puppet strung with holy thread

Dancing while the truth drops dead

(Chorus)

Useful idiot — loud and proud

Screaming nonsense to the crowd

Built to serve, too dumb to see

You’re the face of tyranny

Useful idiot — stand and cheer

For the lies you hold so dear

They made you feel like you belong

While you chant their victory song

(Verse 2)

You burn the books you never read

Raise your fist for what they said

Parrot rage, rehearse the hate

While they feast off your blind faith

They gave you slogans, gave you blame

Taught you how to play the game

Now you’re the soldier of their spin

Useful idiot — born to win

(Bridge)

You’re the mask they wear in war

The voice behind the slamming door

You think you’re fighting for the truth

But you’re just selling out your youth

(Breakdown)

Useful idiot — they love your noise

You’re the perfect broken toy

Useful idiot — you’ll never know

You’re the star of their freak show

(Final Chorus)

Useful idiot — loud and proud

Screaming nonsense to the crowd

Built to serve, too dumb to see

You’re the face of tyranny

Useful idiot — stand and cheer

For the lies you hold so dear

They made you feel like you belong

While you chant their victory song
