So you think that you know me
 Just like those below me
 And you think that your wise
 With those big, wide open eyes

 So you won't play along, no
 You say that it's wrong, oh
 And you're seeing right through me
 And you dare to accuse me

 So you no longer love me
 And you think your above me
 Yet you run when your able
 To fetch scrap from my table

 So you've got me confounded
 But I've got you surrounded
 Where, where indeed
 Will you turn when you're in need?

 If I'm a lie, and maybe it's true
 Still it is I that created you
 And when you die, I'd have you believe
 That even your ghost is shackled to me
 As are those who bear your memory

 Within you live my manufactured dreams
 Soon we'll be repackaging your quaint rebellious schemes
 Within this august engine's power
 To vindicate or to devour
 As armies march and temples tower

 Our golden glory shines before before you
 Our golden road opens for you
 Leave all your troubles far behind you
 Enter the light, though it blinds you
