What do I have to offer
some pretty words and tired smile
I could even walk the distance
but it may take a while
could you be content with a promise
of future riches to become
would you dare accept less
knowing that you've already won
to the victor go the spoils
but ignorance is what truly rules
crowns of forgiveness are rarely worn
so shame and blame continue to be born
twins of the same desire
to live forever and never tire
history is destined to repeat
different lyrics same beat
you know the song they taught you well
now it's yours for you to tell
will they listen will they rot
they have no choice it's all they've got
so they scream obscenities
to anyone that believes
truth was sold they couldn't afford her
all their papers were not in order
what we have are echo chambers
no thinkers left no one to save her
she was forced out to die
so I have my truth and you have your lie.
