Visibility Lyrics

Helmet

Find something mindless i can advocate
Make up the me i want to be
Then always keep a finger on "the pulse"
Maintain high visibility
Grubbing for any contact i can make
Then dig in deep to get ahead
Line upp the prospects that i think
Will "take"
You know you have to use your head
And inability remains protected
The company i keep
Won't let me ever be rejected
