You make it seem so easy
The way you manipulate
Roll the dice
Without thinking twice
About the state of our fate
You watch the candle flicker
And see the shadows dance
Taking the best
And leaving the rest
To what will be history chance

Ever learned a lesson
That you'll take to the grave
Instead of facing up to it
So there's something for you to save
You act like a martyr
Though you know that you're a fraud
Justifying all the pressure you apply
Because you're convinced that you speak for GOD

Somethings always missing
When you add up all the clues
The mystery turns out to be
The way you pick and choose
Lessons learned the hard way
Don't ever change the facts
But self-serving hypocrisy
May change how others react

You have to believe in others
Just like you believe in yourself
Otherwise you will find...
....that you are
The only one left up on the shelf
Passed by and forgotten
Into history you will soon be tossed
Without a thought man...
... Like it or not
Your value just wasn't worth your cost
