The Lies

They want us to fight they want us to hate
they feed us with anger they feed us with faith
better do as your told and fall back in line
like cattles, a horde ruled by the swines

You quote the big men, leaders of lands
regurgitating words, less solid than sand
"the grass is never greener on the otherside
y'all were tricked as kids, fooled by their lies"

Yet when the sky darkens and you're all alone
you reach for that comfort, those lies you were told
You shelter yourself and you hide your tears
praying for someone to ease your fears

They want us to fight they want us to hate
they feed us with anger they feed us with faith
better do as your told and fall back in line
like cattles, a horde, we're ruled by the swines
