"In a way, we all play the fool. Maybe it's the power that is to blame?"
lyrics
Barks from the right,
Telling us that we’re
Naïve communists.
Sparks from the left,
Calling all else
Ignorant fascists.
Isn’t it sad?
That in a way
We all play the fool.
Are we all mad?
Delusional, smashing
Heads against the wall.
Lies born out of lies
To the point of no compromise.
And now where do we go from here?
And now what is there to show from fear?
You and I
Can't make us better
When eyes decide
To erase the letters.
We’re the hypocrites
That we choose to condemn.
More empty minds to bend.
More empty shells to send.
I don't know what's right,
I only know what is wrong.
Don’t know if we've lost the fight,
I only know what is wrong.
Lies born out of lies
To the point of no compromise.
And now where do we go from here?
And now what is there to show from fear?
You and I
Can't make us better
When eyes decide
To erase the letters.
We’re the hypocrites
That we choose to condemn.
More empty minds to bend.
More empty shells to send.
This is what they should act like
This is what they should look like
This is what they should be like
We've been told that they don't look right.
This is what you should act like
This is what you should look like
This is what you should be like.
You've been told that you don't look right.
Can't we see there's another way?
Question the facts and what they say.
You and I know we're both the same.
So maybe it's the power that is to blame?
