They say that they need you,
they make you promises they cannot keep

they want you to be unaware,
they want you to be asleep.

hypocrites come in all shapes and sizes,
politicians have many different disguises.

they have a knife,
aiming at your back.

when you turn your head,
that's when they'll attack.

creeping up, slaying your rights,
we have to revolt, no later than tonight.

this is far from a perfect world,
this is a disaster

we cannot destroy our
biosphere any faster

this is a shame,
a stupid democracy

we the people,
is a **** hypocrisy

the reason behind all these broken smiles
the reason behind every single misdial
how about you fake all of your friends
how about you go around texting messages and never hitting send
the message is what keeps someone from drowning in their own self pity. their own mind is a chamber full of nothingness, where they're trapped. no one asking to help, just to make them feel better. someone to talk to to get rid of their own worries and not to lend a hand. no one to ask if you're okay. no one to be the life raft to keep you from drifting apart. just floating away in the river of life
