All tenants must report to have their lives reviewed
The anthill is being moved to be better used
Don't impede, with words to say, you're not what they need
What they need: nourishment for a rotten seed
What they say and what they do may be different things
Still and all conspiracy's a leap in faith to bring
Wait all day to find out whatever time may bring
Peace of mind? I'm finding out these are all different things
Friction heats our lives we try to close the gap in
What we're told is what and what has actually happened
Nonsense buying three times what we've twice been burned on
Friction's to the point it's likely they'll be turned on
Miss justice to the point where it's hit or miss
I can't see if she's true why'd she do this to me?
Who survives? When the blow comes will it be disguised?
All our lives are in the hands of some other guys
I can't trust someone else to make the rules for me
Burn to dust, begin again to rewrite democracy
They rewrite to say our freedom will remain the same
Meanwhile back behind the scenes they play a different game
Friction heats our lives we try to close the gap in
What we're told is what and what has actually happened
I just can't believe we let things get so bad and
Everywhere we turn the man denies it happened
Effective lies can only serve them to delay
Keep the faith, but you may be your own enemy
Make new plans: without a map sometimes the road dead-ends
Why not stay? Unless the cat leaves home the mice won't play
Years ago someone started up the war machine
We feed it now 'cause no one knows how to turn it off again
Subtle ploys bring about an end no-one enjoys
And their means are becoming more and more obscene
We complain, they find a scapegoat to relieve the pain
We aren't free they try to make us our own enemy
Ring the bell, they bring you food and then they say it's bad
When it's good. We're all crazy dogs I think we've been had
Friction heats our lives we try to close the gap in
What we're told is what and what has actually happened
Nonsense buying three times what we've twice been burned on
Friction's to the point it's likely they'll be turned on
