We've all been tricked by a slick talking snake oil salesman.
I've been holding out for years looks like it’s time to fold.
Hope is for the young and now I'm growing old.
It's nothing but a cancer, it's only getting worse.
How can we expect to be free when our greed always comes first?
Maybe I'm just blind, which is exactly how they want me.
I'll play the fool but for how long?
When do we stand up?
Forgive me father for I have sinned,
I've forgotten how to live and I've forsaken forgiveness.
I've grown cold laying in a warm bed.
Tried to buy happiness but it bounced my check.
All these years have helped me forget
that in my struggle for power I traded my friends.
All these years and I'm still second best,
I wish I was empty but I'm filled with regret.
We've all been tricked by a snake oil salesman.
You'll own the world, but will you ever know love?
You'll have the best, but it will never be enough.
I hope it's worth it.
