Your wheels have been turning
With deception and lies
Nobody sees it
Not even the wise
You played off our fear,
You played off our hate
You played off our stupidity
That most feeble trait
You got what you wanted
Hope you're happy now
You got what you needed
Hope you're happy now
The world it can go to hell
You killed the sacred cow
You are the winner
Hope you're happy now
We saw what we wanted
Not down underneath
Now we will inherit
All that you bequeath
You played off our anger
You played off our greed
You played off our craving
That most human need
There ain't no past
There ain't no future
Nothing will last
"Let me be your shaman
Holy moly and wise
I will rid you
Of all that you despise
I will give you everything
Just gimme your souls
Sign right here
I'll take the controls"
