It's not paranoia, we all chose what to believe If you don't understand it, you're easy to deceive We pick our stories, no two tales are the same Follow the money, ignore the smoke, but look out for the flame Cop a feel Make a deal Shit is all too real Put your decency in storage or run it by the lord It's not a system, it's a funny game where lies are ignored I've got this anger but I don't know what to do It's not paranoia when it turns out to be true Cop a feel Make a deal Shit is all too real When truth is of no consequence Learning's trumped by sheer pretense When greed, deceit and vanity meets Watch your back and count your teeth Vanity before the fall Face first smack into the wall You don't care but will what still remains Ever be rebuilt again? Is this the point the future changed And the new world order arranged? Who will pick up what you've gone and dropped? Will he succeed where you have flopped?
