[Verse 1] I speak to a chosen few who oppose a view Held by common man, my proposal grew Out of independent thought seeds Planting righteous roses, but the world brought weeds Any man who fought creeds in history in wicked ways Felt pain, why not bleed? We're living in the sickest days Vicious plays with secretive scenes and acts Lies laid like train tracks to cover up seen facts Greenbacks perpetuate the playwrights Money makes the setting change from night to daylight It's all illusion, with trick mirror reflections The Peoples Choice Awards are presidential elections Deception hidden, like a serpent in the cracks To watch the play, it costs you a 7% tax The acting leaves a forming of habitual greed The forbiddentry is blown out of a capital seed If it's shaken roughly, you watch the power unravel The spotlight shines from the Tower of Babble It blinds people so they always finding means To keep hidden what goes on behind the scenes Currency flooding, so they won't stop inflation The masses are subdued by media propagation Proclamation of waste, they're throwing you away While the live sheep flock, they're going to the play [Chorus x2] History has shown us the power and greed Devouring deed, fallen in an hour of need A flower will breed, just shower the seed A coward will bleed, this my creed Listen, behold, and take heed [Verse 2] A global theater, with an enormous performance With lonely stage-hands with military endurance Be super-concious, a subliminial fact is built You like to play? Join the political actors guild And learn how to fake what you feel, with snake appeal Then rob the poor's pocket every time you make a deal Take and steal, under their guys, or just cause and trust laws Manifest acceptance as an audience applause A river of greed, it's an undestructive flow Watching civilian police are nothing but a puppet show Let the trumpets blow, signaling the opening act Pull the curtains back, and unseen, open the tact Let the true light refract, and reflect like a prism While monopolies allow fools, and I write communism I'm secretly having my freedom stripped Meanwhile polling political parasites read a script You walk with a smile, even if you hate it Ignorance allows an audience to be manipulated Stated innocent, really guilty hidden criminals Children are deprived their basic vitamins and minerals Lies contracting deals, of subtracting bills No truth found, only good acting skills Check the dollar bill under the pyramid in Latin New World Order exists draped in black satin [Chorus] [Verse 3] I plead that my voice is heard, with the choice of words To stimulate like the moistest herbs Poisonous, absurd, venomous of real reality A surreal gallery, with the phony actuality Politicians taking drama classes, to promise actions Exceeding and eliminating honest factions A continuous play with no intermission Executive decision lead into wicked wishing A crooked Christian, will help to show you to your seat And steal your wallet, and say "I owe you a receipt" Slow deceit is upon us, it's the hour of dillusion And writing script ideas into our Constitution Evil intrusion, mental breaking and entering On the united front, the fake and the centering Taken and spending, will wealth-fare lending Inevitable effect is healt-care ending Seen six acts, six script six The players is playing devilish characteristics The show goes on, you can't keep the play waiting The poor pay the rich, and the rich pay Satan I'll put my Consititutional right to fight Speak words of light, to ignite insight It's all relative to your life, certainly, I suppose If you open the truth, you'll make the curtains close [Chorus]
