Cheated

So inevitable another lie another reason to justify
Tearing it down
Honesty such a novelty so we king ourselves with a plastic crown
Casualty of a daydream nation
Close acquaintance, no relation
Search & Destroy
Dignity we left laying along the way
To everyone's dismay
Predictable cliché
Kindred enemies
The walking dead
Living a lie.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
So unavoidable another fight sell the ticket and crash the ride
Burn it down
A legacy of brutality
So caught up in the process of weeding out
The chopping block starving for a neck
Pointing fingers and stabbing backs
Never question, conformity
The big take over under way
Much to our dismay
A lucrative display
Perpetual decay.

Left to destroy themselves
Yet somehow still alive
Battling for the best position, posturing for recognition
The best days thrown away
In an age of quarrel
Butcher the memories
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
