I'll tell 'em there's a problem now,
that only I can fix.
They'll never know I'm lying,
They can't see through my tricks.

I'll lead 'em down my chosen path,
and whisper in their ear.
As long as there's someone to hurt,
I can wield the power of fear.

It's too easy to find some lesser folks,
to lay on all the blame.
When really, I'm the one
behind the curtain who rigs the game.

You'd be surprised how easy,
it can be to make men hate.
Give them an easy target,
And let the anger permeate.

So, yes they've got a problem,
yet they're giving me applause.
Because they think I'm the solution,
but I know that I'm the cause.
