Phil Gawen - Scheming Men Lyrics

Take me across the water
Over nations, straight to God
I will have a message
From a friend of mine

He whispered in my ears
He said he had the power to make or break
Any system at the core
He said, I can make it all come true for you

Baby, she said, save me
Are you someone I can trust
He said maybe you doubt yourself too much

There are people in his hands
There's a chance he might be heaven sent
And the world is always more than ready
To give in to cheating

Scheming men, jubilate your voices
Scheming men, propaganda noise
Scheming men, powerful amazing
Scheming men, lead us to the ending
Of the world

Sing your songs, with flowers at the altar
Big black cars, ships in every Harbor
Big wheels turn, sometimes off the deep end
Off the deep end

He said, build me a kingdom, a mansion of god
He said, find me security, in a Swiss bank account
He said, the meek shall inherit the earth
When I am gone

There are people in his hands
He could squeeze them all at once
With words dressed in glory
And words of love
And a vast array of sleight of hands
