The Flaw You Worship lyrics

It's a character flaw that they are blind to in themselves and the characters they create
The heroes and protagonists of their literature and films reek of the same oversight
An uncharacteristic value that if they saw would instantly deepen and broaden their perspective
That's the flaw and blindsight of privilege and power
The intelligence that can be metered out by the type of comfort one would choose to prolong and protect
An heirloom
I watch sh*tty movie after sh*tty movie thinking, how can they not see this?
Until it dawned: this was the flaw they worshipped

Blame for the refugee
Cross as an effigy
Scandals and treachery
Pan placed against the sea
Dance to the answer beat
Question the century
Judge turned to referee
Off side but on the beat
False crowd the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You're not the boss of me
You're just the president
No one elected me
b*tch I'm a resident
Now I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
I ain't the flaw you worship
