How can you say you love
And then proclaim your hate
How can you preach more than enough
Then take it all away

How can you not see
You're the one that's blind
How can you say that you are free
While bottled up inside

How can you dangle hold
Out hope for those
And then tie a noose
At both ends of the rope

How can you even stand
To live with yourself
And if you can't
How can you expect anyone else

How can you say
Follow me rightfully
When the way you've made
Is the deadest of dead-end streets

How can you ask the hand in dance
Drawing close cheek to cheek
When you're so far out of touch with those
That are in desperate need

How can you say with a straight face
You'll bring about a change
When you yourself have sold your soul
And given ours away

How can you even stand
To live with yourself
And if you can't
How can you expect anyone else
