They stripped away my innocence and left me here to die
|
In this sad, cold realization, there are no more tears to cry
|
But I still believe in miracles, 'cause that's all I had before
|
And I ain't gonna take your promises no more
|
|
They stretched the Earth's resources and built a funeral pyre
|
Through the smoke the children wonder, 'neith the stark and shattered[?] sky
|
There is no hope or reason while the corporations roar[?]
|
Disregarding truth and sacred law
|
|
Can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believed without a question why
|
Can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believe, controlling all we think and see and do
|
|
We're living a lie
|
We're living a lie
|
|
They'll steal away your brightest dreams, just leaving hollow soles
|
To wander in this city's grime, without a hope or home
|
The devil plays is final hand, the battle now begins
|
But no one without true love will ever win
|
|
Can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believed without a question why
|
Can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believe, controlling all we think and see and do
|
|
Oh can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believed without a question why
|
Oh can't you see we're living in the lie
|
I believe, controlling all we see and think and do
|
|
We're living a lie
|
We're living a lie
|
We're living a lie
|
