Paper Tiger |
Fake tears in the aisles |
Lies, fear and denial |
Glass cages and rivals |
False threats of reprisal |
One more rally cause and off we go |
We’ve got 'em primed and ready to explode |
The narcissist machinery, forging a self-made victims' new society |
This world is growing more demented by the day |
We let in fear along the way |
Now for political advancement we’ve co-opted pain |
Beware snakes in the dark; |
don’t set them free |
One more life, for the glory to bear Your name |
The honor to share that cup of shame, we’ve burned it away |
On we go, with our drama flags unfurled |
While they die in chains around the world, and we dance on anyway |
Selling false persecution, rage and de-evolution |
Martyr complex we’re feeding; |
paranoia we’re breeding |
Inventing problems for all to see |
Caught in the cycle, self-fulfilling prophecy |
We’re living lives fit for a king |
And most of us have never known real suffering |
So join the pageant, fake the hurt, take up the cause |
Lay in the paper tiger’s jaws |
Walk the stage now, take a bow and soak in the applause |
Beware snakes in the dark; |
we set them free |
One more life, for the glory to bear Your name |
The honor to share that cup of shame, we’ve burned it away |
On we go, with our drama flags unfurled |
While they die in chains around the world, and we dance on anyway |
Fear and paranoia bring a false sense of entitlement |
Pretend we’re persecuted, love the sound or our own voice |
Media fear-mongering is just a paper tiger |
Because don’t you know that misery is oftentimes a choice? |
Caught up in our drama, we pretend that we have problems |
While across the world our brothers are beheaded in the streets |
Malcontents and dissonance uncover our indifference |
Wolf’s cry obsolete |
One more life, for the glory to bear Your name |
The honor to share that cup of shame, we’ve burned it away |
On we go, with our drama flags unfurled |
While they die in chains around the world, and we dance on anyway |
Burn the tiger down today |
