They need change, new eyes

New colors for the promise change implies

They need relevance. Fear inspires

A familiar face, a visage for reprise

Well he's

One man thinking, and one orating

One man ruling, and one man reigning

One man wanting, and one man taking

One man brooding with vengeful eyes

They need change, a moral intercession

Our sentinel for righteousness, arise

They need sustenance, esteem – need strength and shelter

But with one hand to god, allegiance to disguise

You've got

One man thinking, and one orating

One man ruling, and one man reining

One man wanting, and one man taking

And one man feeding you lies

But you won't believe in the ties that bind we two*

You're not so different from your enemy

*we're all debris, but you've fallen blind, untrue*

But your scattered faces shroud the truth

*woefully, though we share far more than you*

And masked in overstated subtlety

*would care to see, - you're a felon too*

The painful truth you fell into

In the pall, recesses of your sin

In the shaded corners of your soul

Beneath the shadows of our skin

Prevails the nature of us all

You need change, new lies

New colors for the promise they've devised

*but you won't believe in the ties that bind we two*

You're not so different from your enemy

*we're all debris, but you've fallen blind, untrue*

But your scattered faces shroud the truth

*woefully, though we share far more than you*

And masked in overstated subtlety

*would care to see, - you know it's you.*

The painful truth - you know it's you
