See the man on the TV,
talking to you and me.
Hear his words, so enticing,
they almost make you believe.

The world is slowly burning,
we need a savior now.
People want to believe,
but they just don't know how.

Far inside big closed doors,
sit politicians and liars.
They scheme and plot our persuasion,
and we just put on our blinders.

This cycle is getting old now,
perpetual lies and commitments.
Just set the world on fire,
and we promise we'll sit through it.

Nothings going to change here,
we don't mind burning alive.
Just make sure we all get,
a fair slice of the pie.
