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
