I see there's bedlam in the streets my friend
And I'm watching from my seat again
The world's on fire and someone fanned it
An arsonist unreprimanded
It's getting harder to remember when
There was harbor in the truth but then
Rules all changed the rage expanded
Like someone pulling strings had planned it
When challenged to confront I must confide
I'd sometimes rather find a place to hide
I'm watching slighted truth and sleight of hand
Slightly hard to understand
Only right if it appeases your ears
Only fight if it displeases your peers
I'm surprised anyone can stand it
But pretty sure it's the way they planned it
Die on the hill where someone led you
Die on the words that someone read you
Buy the lie the way they canned it
Buy the plan the way they planned it
I would never dream to take a side
I would rather find a place to hide
I'm watching slighted truth and sleight of hand
Slightly hard to understand (I'm watching)
Air no grievance
Take your stand
Swear Allegiance
No Land's Man
I don't see a reason
It's not treason not to take a side
Part of me is pleased to be
The one who can enjoy the ride
I'm awake
I'm aware
We the people and the steeple
I'm aware of who I am
We the prophets, you the profits
I'm aware of where I stand
I'm awake
I'm aware
Take all things in moderation
I just take them all the time
Take it in and be offended
I'll keep reeling at the line
I see no reason to decide
At least I've got nothing to hide
I'm watching
Slighted truth and sleight of hand
Slightly hard to understand (I'm watching)
Air no grievance
Take your stand
Swear Allegiance
No Land's Man
