She says it's not about money
She says it's all about love
She says there's plans for each of us
Handed down from heaven
But I don't share her faith in the people
That would make us slaves if only it were legal
Apparently I'm the one who's crazy
For all my questioning
Why trust anybody who says:
You won't get yours until you are dead?
We are being lied to
I scream at her but it's too late
We are being lied to
She already swallowed and accepted her place
As a dead-eyed siren
Singing the praises of loyalty
To a faceless master
Her desperation
Overpowered her sense of self
She was beautiful and free
But now she's just like everyone else
(who all repeat)
Work real hard, smile real pretty
Need a reason? There are plenty
To break your spirit in servitude
And be grateful for the opportunity
Why trust anybody who says:
You won't get yours until you are dead?
Why trust anybody who says:
You won't get yours until you are dead?
(lies, lies, lies)
Why trust anybody who says:
You won't get yours until you are dead?
(lies, lies, lies)
Why trust anybody who says:
You won't get yours until you are dead?
(lies, lies, lies)
Why trust anybody who says
Why trust anybody who says
Why trust anybody who says
You won't get yours until you are dead
Until you're dead
Until You're dead
We are being lied to
I scream at her but it's too late
We are being lied to
She already swallowed and accepted her...
We are being lied to
I scream at her but it's too late
We are being lied to
She already swallowed and accepted her place
