Your wheels have been turning with deception and lies
Nobody sees it, no, no, no
Not even the wise
You played off our fear, you played off our hate
You played off our stupidity, that most feeble trait
"I will give you everything your heart desires," you'd say
"Just follow along with me and I will lead the way"
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 gazed at the surfaces 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
"Let me be your shaman
Holy moly and wise," you'd shout
We followed along with you
Without any doubt
There is no future
There is no past
There is only you
There is only you
