1. BELIEVE THE LIE

The truth is a lie!

Our leaders would have us believe that our comforts
Are worth being pinned down beneath this oppression
Controlling the masses so weak their obsession.
Which they realize by lies that they force down our
throats

A maelstrom of differing views and opinions
Are scattered throughout all the news and
suggestions
Are made that all lead us to choose a position
But no matter our choice by their will it's been made

[Chorus]
We suffer
By the lies we claim (we claim)
As the defining truth
With which our road is paved
No turning back now
Cause we are slaves (slaves)
To the dismal future

That we have made
Absolute certainty
Is a lie of conceit!

We've been force fed
Your sickening values
And lead into
Shameful battles.
You've made us weak
With lavish comforts
And kept us meek
With your propaganda

Lead like sheep
By silver-tongued liars
And made puppets
To power's hidden masters

How have we swallowed the vile deceit
so shamelessly?

Lead like sheep
By silver-tongued liars
And made puppets
To power's hidden masters

Now we're drowning in denial of the truth
And ignoring every hint of the proof
And taking for granted the freedom we lose
By blinding ourselves to the way we're being played.

Hook, line, and sinker we've taken their bait
And fallen for numberless reasons to hate
And who but ourselves can we possibly blame?
No-one!

[Chorus]
We suffer
By the lies we claim (we claim)
As the defining truth
With which our road is paved.
No turning back now
Cause we are slaves (slaves)
To the dismal future
That we have made

They have led us to suffering!
To a world of despair!
They have taken our everything!
And convinced us not to care!

How have we swallowed the vile deceit
So shamelessly?

Lead like sheep
By silver-tongued liars
And made puppets
To power's hidden masters

Why can't we open our eyes
To the verity?

Instead we follow the footsteps before us
Which lead us nowhere just like they always have!
And so we suffer this disease
Of belief eternally!
The truth is a lie!

[Chorus]
We suffer
By the lies we claim (we claim)
As the defining truth
With which our road is paved.
No turning back now
Cause we are slaves (slaves)
To the dismal future
That we have made

When choices are given
The choices are made
By those who gave us
The voices to say
Do you believe that
The choice that you make
Gives you the power
To decide your fate?
