LYRICS:

You’re a celebrated icon
Idealized by the mob
Every move you make is scrutinized
Foolish deeds remind us that you’re down to earth
Just like us
But you’re in for the money and that is what we’ll take

(Chorus 1)
Demolishing the Pied d’Estalle
Join us in the pursuit of blame
We need one misstep
You’ll burn, you’ll die, we’ll bury you
Scapegoat hypocrisy

Heroic disillusion from the throne to the grave
One public conclusion
The perpetrator’s fate

When the masses sealed your destiny
You can’t be saved
No matter how strong your defense
As you’re burning, by allies you will be erased
Pariah for the people
Celebrating your collapse

(Chorus 2)
Demolishing the Pied d’Estalle
Join us in the pursuit of blame
We need one misstep
To take you down and bury you
Scapegoat hypocrisy

We’ll dish the dirt on you without shame
You are the chosen one
The one to take the blame
Malfeasance with excuses
We can see through them
Shallowed
Shallowed be thy fame

Your reputation will now be shattered
As the only one who’s framed
Ain’t there any honor in shielding all your allies
Who are dancing on your grave

Once on the ground you’re opening your eyes
Coming to realize what it was all about
They never cared about your deeds
Only driven by their needs
Taking your position and honor what they achieved

(Repeat chorus 1)
