Wishhful Thinking - New Idolatry Lyrics
Official




Five gold rings you're the modern king
And your reign's maintained by immodesty
From a golden crown to a golden chain
They don't need to bow when you're on a stage
You say it's meritocracy
Because heaven forbid it be mediocrity
Verified by the aristocracy
On the top-most step of the wrong building
And it's taking over my devotion
This time I can't call your fire down
Transfixed by the celebrity
Oh no, this is the new idolatry
They say, "Stop! it's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
You can't stop worshipping what you see, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
They say, "Stop! it's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
You can't stop worshipping what you see, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
They say, "Stop! it's been your destiny, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
So don't stop, it's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
Just adopt this new philosophy
And the idol becomes your identity
Live a king, rule with a golden staff
Or you're stuck bowed down to a golden calf
Now the statues aren't carved of gold
But you can take up their spot if you fill the mold
And today, you'd be surprised how cheap
Now to enter just costs your morality
But what can I do when you call my name
And without you, how could this life ever feel the same
And I think it's passion
I thought it was meant for me
But are there other motives
Am I chasing idolatry
"It's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
You can't stop worshipping what you see, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
They say, "Stop! it's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
You can't stop worshipping what you see, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
They say, "Stop! it's been your destiny, no
You can't resist this new idolatry
So don't stop, it's what it's meant to be, no
You can't resist this new idolatry"
Can't resist this new idolatry, you can't
You can't resist this new idolatry
And it's taking over my devotion
This time I can't call your fire down
Transfixed by the celebrity
Oh no, this is the new idolatry
Transfixed by the celebrity
Oh no, this is the new idolatry
