Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention please

He who lusts through life for excess of this world

Dies a lonely man, careless of his soul

Throwing caution to the wind with foolish ignorance

You're full of pride (full of pride) full of pride

And in arrogance you can't accept the nearing end of this short lived life



Smile and give a toast, brag and boast

Fool the world with all of your lies

The parasite's host never even knows

Pull the wool over our eyes



[Chorus]

Walk the line and pay the price

A pound of flesh for paradise

Wear the wounds of your demise



Fail to mention your intentions, fail to mention why

The actions of your life contradict your words

The path in which you walk is a vice of no remorse

Washing conscience from the skin, claiming innocence

Ignore the signs



Smile and give a toast, brag and boast

Fool the world with all of your lies

The parasite's host never even knows

Pull the wool over our eyes



[Chorus]



A pound of flesh for paradise



I should have made your mind up for you (for you)

I should have made your mind up for you (for you)



[Chorus]



From cradle to grave, you chose to trade

A pound of flesh for paradise

Wear the wounds of your demise.
