Curtain Call - Lyrics - Genuflect

Genuflection , bending at least one knee to the ground, was from early times a gesture of deep respect for a superior. In 328 BC, Alexander the Great introduced into his court-etiquette some form of genuflection already in use in Persia. In the Byzantine Empire even senators were required to genuflect to the emperor. In medieval Europe, one demonstrated respect for a king or noble by going down on one knee, often remaining there until told to rise. It is traditionally often performed in western cultures by a male making a proposal of marriage. More recently, the gesture is largely restricted to Catholic religious practices.

It's been a long time coming- Now it's come down to this So follow through- Follow suit- Fall into the abyss This is your TV talking- "Keep popping pills and shopping" It's gone be fine, your gonna be fine, it's just your heart stopping Turn on the radio- Audio ads, it's all the same- "Are you medicated yet? Are you heavily sedated?" (Bated) It's gonna be alright- Just don't forget to bow, It's gonna be fine, you're gonna be fine- Just keep your head down And pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain that you sleep- Making certain that your weak- Iron curtain Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain you don't dream- Making certain you don't scream, "Iron curtain!" Couple hundred billion laundered from the poor to the rich They got one eye on the prize, the others fixed on the switch They need their day spas- They need their private jets They need their oil, send the poor out for more- certain death Double standards- Double barrel- Parchment barrel for waste It's hard to stop drinking blood after you've taken a taste It's gonna be alright- Just turn your cheek and bow It's gonna be fine, you're gona be fine- Just keep your head down And pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain that you sleep- Making certain that your weak- Iron curtain Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain you don't dream- Making certain you don't scream, "Iron curtain!" Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call Put up a wall- We all are falling for the curtain call You're no better- You're no better- You're no better than anybody else! You know better? You know better? You know better? Burn this bridge down! You're no better- You know you're no better You know you're no better than anybody else So you know better- You think you know better- You know you're no better- Burn this bridge down! Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain that you sleep- Making certain that your weak- Iron curtain Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain Making certain you don't dream- Making certain you don't scream "Iron curtain!"
