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
