They tell us where to go, what to feel, who we know
Somewhere far from here, it's the same
But do they know?
Because we're way too trusting, the state is left with nothing
A broken promise and a heartfelt told-you-so
"If it were up to me then" is all I ever hear now
Another record that we just can't find
Say that you will when you can then you won't
Hope becomes thrill becomes mad when you don't
You never intended to follow through; it's true
So true
Look to the left they have nothing to say
Turn to the right but it's so far away
Hard to believe that our system is one that we choose
We choose
Please don't leave behind the notion that I'm not to blame
Tides may turn with mobilisation
But I'm not sure I feel the same

They tell us where to go, what to feel, who we know
Somewhere far from here, it's the same
But do they know?
One truth against the other, foundations start to shudder
Our fuel's the same and it looks a lot like
Feels a lot like fear!
Let me hear you complain one more time
One more time!
