  lyrics
  
  all this time has whittled away
  like so many days in one
  back and forth the leaders sway
  backing it up with guns
  superpowers flex their wings 
  hold the world on puppet strings
  egos will feed
  while citizens bleed 
  that's always the way it goes 
  when will the world listen to reason
  i've a feeling it'll be a long time
  when will the truth come in to season
  i've a feeling it'll be a long time
  all they want is what they can defend
  before their time is up
  make the same mistakes all again
  heard it all before
  superpowers flex their wings 
  hold the world on puppet strings
  egos will feed 
  while citizens bleed
  that's always the way it goes 
  well if they tried 
  maybe they'd see
  it'd do a little good to let the world be free
  handshake and a smile
  gets you on through 
  then turn all around with the suicide move 
  but you know it's not foolin' anyone but me
  you gotta make yourself see what you want to see
