Why do you stare
|
Do you think that I care?
|
You've been misled
|
By the thoughts in your head
|
|
Your words waste and decay
|
Nothing you say
|
Reaches my ears anyway
|
You never spoke a word of truth
|
|
Why do you think
|
I believe what you said
|
Few of your words
|
Ever enter my head
|
|
I'm tired of living with freaks
|
With tongues in their cheeks
|
Turning their eyes as they speak
|
They make me sick and tired
|
|
Are you confused
|
To the point in your mind
|
Though you're blind
|
Can't you see you're wrong
|
Won't you refuse
|
To be used
|
Even though you may know
|
I can see you're wrong
|
Please, please, please open their eyes
|
Please, please, please don't give me lies
|
|
I ruled all of the earth
|
Witnessed my birth
|
Cried at the sight of a man
|
And still I don't know who I am
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
I've seen paupers as kings
|
Puppets on strings
|
Dance for the children who stare
|
You must have seen them everywhere
|
