lyrics

Since I was young I’ve been told that I’m free
But now that I’m older it don’t seem like that to me
Was pumped by school and media with your brainwashing lies
Now I can see the truth your propaganda I despise

The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win

People commit murders and you openly condemn
But if it was in wartime you’d make heroes out of them
Crazy double values and your teachings keep them strong
But a murder is a murder and all killing is wrong

The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win

Your sacred cow called money that you lock up and conceal
Convince people they need it then you wonder why they steal
Lock people in prison because they must be taught a lesson
If this system’s the answer it must have been a stupid question

The people around me praise democracy
But all I can see is hypocrisy
Your sick games of power are wearing thin
Put one against the other and you know you’ll win
