Oh, my job keeps getting easier
As time keeps slippin' away
I can imitate the brightest light
And make the night look just like day
I put some truth in every lie
To tickle itchin' ears
You know, I'm drawing people just like flies
'Cause they like what they hear
I'm gaining power by the hour
They're falling by the score
You know it's getting very simple now
'Cause no one believes in me anymore!

Oh, heaven's just a state of mind
My book read on your shelf
Oh, have you heard that God is dead?
I made that one up myself
They're dabbling with magic spells
They get their fortunes read
You know, they heard the truth
But turned away
And then followed me instead
I used to have to sneak around
But now they just open their doors
No one is watching for my trick
Since no one believes in me anymore!

Everyone likes a winner
With my help, your're guaranteed to win
Hey man, you ain't no sinner!
No, you've got the truth within
And as your life slips by you belive the lie
That you did it on your own
But don't worry
I'll be there to help you share
A dark eternal home
A dark eternal home!

Oh, my job keeps getting easier
As day slips into day
The magazines, the newspapers
Print every word I say
This world is just my spinning top
It's all like child's play
You know, I dream that it would never stop
But I know it's not that way
Still my work goes on and on
Always stronger than before
I'm gonna make it dark before the dawn
Since no one believes in me anymore!

Well, I used to have to sneak around
But now they just open their doors
You know, no one is
