about

This is quite an angry song about the way the powerful elite lead the people of the world by the nose through political, social, economic and media manipulation into war, destruction, hate and revenge. Guess who comes out on top.

lyrics

We thought they'd turned a page.
Hard to believe we could be so naive in this day and age.
The dice were loaded, the cards were stacked.
Two steps forward and three steps back
As they moved across the stage
Like actors
With delusions of free will
While from the wings, the ones pulling the strings
Were the usual suspects
With their hands in the till
Where they've always stood -
And where they're standing still.

Like actors
We repeat the same lines
Taking all our cues and tips
from the ones writing the scripts
While the monsters they created
To keep us true to the cause
Have set fire to the theatre

And bolted all the doors.
