You dive into your subconsciousness

To trace the unforgotten mess

You show your colors to confess

Your losses in this game of chess

 

The kings and queens without good grace

Sacrifice some pawns to save their face

Deep down in your memory maze

You gaze at awful things in a hazy haze

 

What have you done – little kid on the run?

Where have you been – my next of kin?

What’s the occasion of fear – my lovely dear?

Why doesn’t it end – my special friend?

 

Thoughts runnin’ in circles and shades growin’ wild

Day after day since you’ve been a child

The puppets still gamble – the puppets still fight

They will never learn – they’re addicted to might

 

The blind writes down what the deaf has heard

Rumors are born – leaders spread the absurd

There’s endless growth – on the limited earth

The hypocrisy is getting worse and worse

 

When do we learn to contain our greed?

When do we see – we have all we need?

When do we act – and not just pretend?

When do these lies come to an end?

 

When do these lies come to an end?

When do these lies come to an end?

When do these lies come to an end?

When do these lies come to an end?
